i've implemented paramiko library to rdiff-backup code. If someone is interested in I changed only two files: SetConnections.py and Main.py.
Here is some code:
# SetConnections.py modifications
import paramiko
import new
__cmd_schema = '%s'
# ......
# init_connection() function
# Remove .__del__ method from BufferedFile. This can broke thread # and print some nasty exceptions at the end of rdiff-backup
# working. paramiko.file.BufferedFile.__del__ = new.instancemethod( lambda x: None, None, paramiko.file.BufferedFile ) full_hostname = remote_cmd port = 22
username, hostname = full_hostname.split(' < at > ') if hostname.find(':') > 0: hostname, port = hostname.split(':') trans = paramiko.Transport((hostname, int(port)))
trans.connect(username=username, password='yourpassword') chan = trans.open_channel("session") command = 'rdiff-backup --server' chan.exec_command(command) stdin = chan.makefile('w')
stdout = chan.makefile() conn_number = len(Globals.connections) conn = connection.PipeConnection(stdout, stdin, conn_number)
Paramiko channel have makefile() function wich is simulating pipe similar to popen2(). The second modification is some cleanup code for paramiko threads:
# Main.py
# cleanup() function
# join paramiko threads from paramiko.transport import _active_threads for tobj in _active_threads: tobj.stop_thread() tobj.join()
And this is all. I've tested it on Windows and Linux and it's working fine. Paramiko is a little slower than ssh client on LInux.
Now i want to make some more modifications in code (for example reading login/password from config file and GUI) so publishing paramiko connection code now is a good idea
Modified files u can find here: http://pako.overflow.pl/trash/rdiff-backup/
Cheers!
