Glyph,

I took your fix, and added some fixes of my own for __repr__() printing of EC keys in this branch:

https://github.com/twisted/twisted/pull/615

If I run the tests, I get a new failure:

trial twisted.conch.test.test_keys.KeyTests.test_fromBlobECDSA

Traceback (most recent call last):

builtins.ValueError: Key header and key body contain different key type values.

Also, if I try to access my machine with:

conch 192.168.1.2

I see that in the matchesKey() function on this line:

https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/trunk/src/twisted/conch/client/knownhosts.py#L106

self.publicKey is an EC key, while keyObject is an RSA key.

Therefore this function always fails, and I cannot log into the box.

Any ideas?
