Conch is an SSHv2 implementation written in Python. SSH is a protocol
designed to allow remote access to shells and commands, but it is
generic enough to allow everything from TCP forwarding to generic
filesystem access. Since conch is written in Python, it interfaces well
with other Python projects, such as Imagination. Conch also includes a
implementations of the telnet and vt102 protocols, as well as support
for rudamentary line editing behaviors. A new implementation of
Twisted's Manhole application is also included, featuring server-side
input history and interactive syntax coloring.
