It implements both client and server sides of SSHv2, SFTP, and SCP, allowing you to run remote commands, transfer files, forward ports, and manage SSH tunnels asynchronously within a single event loop. The package handles key exchange, multiple authentication methods (public key, password, keyboard-interactive), and session management, with support for modern algorithms including post-quantum key exchange (ML-KEM, SNTRUP).\n\nThe library is designed for developers who need SSH functionality in async Python applications\u2014whether building automation tools, remote administration systems, or integrating SSH into larger async services. It depends only on cryptography and typing_extensions at runtime, with optional extras for enhanced features like FIDO2 security keys, PKCS#11 tokens, and GSSAPI authentication. The codebase is actively maintained, supports Python 3.10 through 3.14, and carries no known vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes. AsyncSSH is a mature, actively maintained library with low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, and strong support for modern Python versions. The copyleft license (EPL-2.0 or GPL-2.0-or-later) requires attention if you plan to distribute proprietary software, but poses no barrier for internal or open-source use. Install it if you need async SSH functionality in Python."},"id":"asyncssh","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/asyncssh","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/asyncssh.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/asyncssh/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"asyncssh","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"AsyncSSH: Asynchronous SSHv2 client and server library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":19391101,"position":1066,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.24.0"}
