Wrapper library over paramiko to allow remote execution of tasks. Supports parallel execution on multiple hosts

Project description

Small wrapper library over paramiko that allows for parallel execution of SSH commands on remote hosts and executing simple single host commands over SSH.

parallel-ssh uses asychronous network requests - there is no multi-threading or multi-processing used.

This is a requirement for commands on many (hundreds/thousands/hundreds of thousands) of hosts which would grind a system to a halt simply by having so many processes/threads all wanting to execute if done with multi-threading/processing.

Module documentation can be found at read the docs.

Installation

$ pip install parallel-ssh

Usage Examples

See documentation on read the docs for more complete examples

Run ls on two remote hosts in parallel.

>>> from pssh import ParallelSSHClient
>>> hosts = ['myhost1', 'myhost2']
>>> client = ParallelSSHClient(hosts)
>>> cmds = client.exec_command('ls -ltrh /tmp/aasdfasdf', sudo = True)
>>> print [client.get_stdout(cmd) for cmd in cmds]
[localhost]     drwxr-xr-x  6 xxx xxx 4.0K Jan  1 00:00 xxx
[{'localhost': {'exit_code': 0}}]

SFTP support

SFTP is supported (scp version 2 protocol) natively, no scp command used.

For example to copy a local file to remote hosts in parallel

>>> from pssh import ParallelSSHClient
>>> hosts = ['myhost1', 'myhost2']
>>> client = ParallelSSHClient(hosts)
>>> client.copy_file('../test', 'test_dir/test')
>>> client.pool.join()
Copied local file ../test to remote destination myhost1:test_dir/test
Copied local file ../test to remote destination myhost2:test_dir/test
