when i used paramiko in python2.5 i got the error below.
File "C:\praveena\python scripts\sshlib\ssh.py", line 5, in <module>
import paramiko
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\paramiko\__init__.py", line 69, in
<module>
from transport import randpool, SecurityOptions, Transport

File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\paramiko\osrandom.py", line 129, in
<module>
raise ImportError("Cannot find OS entropy source")
ImportError: Cannot find OS entropy source

====================
I have no idea what paramiko is, but the error message suggests an OS
rather than Python problem. Can you run paramiko with an earlier version
of Python on the same machine as it is currently set up?

If so, check (and possibly post) the OSRandomPool class/function in
osrandom.py for anything that might be sensitive to 2.5 changes (there were
not very many, and just about none should have broken code).

It appears you have a non-functioning pycrypto. Have you installed it?
