How to run sudo with Paramiko? (Python)
invoke_shell
worked for me like this:
import paramiko, getpass, re, time
ssh_client = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh_client.connect( host )
sudo_pw = getpass.getpass("sudo pw for %s: " % host)
command = "sudo magicwand"
channel = ssh_client.invoke_shell()
channel.send( command )
# wait for prompt
while not re.search(".*\[sudo\].*",channel.recv(1024)): time.sleep(1)
channel.send( "%s\n" % sudo_pw )
check this example out:
ssh.connect('127.0.0.1', username='jesse',
password='lol')
stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command(
"sudo dmesg")
stdin.write('lol\n')
stdin.flush()
data = stdout.read.splitlines()
for line in data:
if line.split(':')[0] == 'AirPort':
print line
