Python based paramiko package acting up on Linux, code works fine on windows

[flxkid]

I've tried to post to the mailing list for paramiko and contact the
author, but it seems he's having some mailing list problems. Anyways,
I have this small example that works just fine on Windows against
Python 2.6.2, but fails on Ubuntu against 2.6.2. Here is the code:

import subprocess
import os
import re
import paramiko
import sqlite3
import datetime
import base64
import sys
import logging
from paramiko.rsakey import RSAKey

class OpenSessions:
sshconns = []
sqlconn = sqlite3.connect('test.sqlite')

def __init__(self):
self.sqlconn.row_factory = sqlite3.Row
sqlcur = self.sqlconn.cursor()
sqlcur.execute("select host, pub_key, username, password,
private_key from ssh_hosts")
rows = sqlcur.fetchall()
for row in rows:
sshconn = paramiko.SSHClient()
sshconn._system_host_keys.add(row["host"], "ssh-rsa", RSAKey
(data=base64.decodestring(row["pub_key"])))
if row["private_key"] != "":
sshconn.connect(hostname=row["host"], username=row["username"],
pkey=RSAKey(data=base64.decodestring(row["private_key"])))
elif row["password"] != "":
sshconn.connect(hostname=row["host"], username=row["username"],
password=row["password"], look_for_keys=False, timeout=60)
self.sshconns.append(sshconn)

output = ""
for conn in self.sshconns:
print conn.exec_command("uname -a")[1].readline()

exit()

if __name__== '__main__':
sessions = OpenSessions()

The code fails with this trace:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 41, in <module>
sessions = OpenSessions()
File "test.py", line 36, in __init__
print chan.exec_command("uname -a")[1].readline()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/paramiko/channel.py",
line 212, in exec_command
self._wait_for_event()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/paramiko/channel.py",
line 1077, in _wait_for_event
raise e
paramiko.SSHException: Channel closed.
Exception in thread Thread-1 (most likely raised during interpreter
shutdown):
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 525, in

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/paramiko/transport.py",
line 1567, in run
<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: 'NoneType' object has no attribute
'error'

This well beyond my abilities to debug. All I know is that it always
works on Windows, and always fails in Ubuntu (which of course is where
I need use the code). Any suggestions? I know the paramiko mailing
list would probably be the better spot for this, but like I said, its
got some issues right now.

Was a bug in paramiko channel.py in the _wait_for_event function. All
fixed up now.
