[Twisted-Python] [Conch] anyone using twisted.conch.ssh.session.SSHSession directly?
I'm working on tests for t.c.s.session.SSHSession, and it's difficult because of the terrible API SSHSession currently has. I've tried a rewrite in branches/session-2710, but I wanted to know if anyone was actually using that class directly? The typical use case is writing an Avatar->ISession adapter, and if you're doing it that way nothing should change for you even with this update. In short, let me know if you're using twisted.conch.ssh.session.SSHSession directly and I need to keep it backwards compatible. Thanks! -p -- Paul Swartz paulswartz at gmail dot com http://z3p.livejournal.com/ AIM: z3penguin

Rather than removing it, you could e.g. deprecate the old class and then write a new one (using test-driven development) to ensure a decent API and good test coverage.

I tried a while ago to document some parts of the unspoken idioms around compatibility: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/CompatibilityPolicy It's still not done, but hey, as long as we're talking about it, Paul, have a look at the number of entries Conch has in that list near the bottom. ;-)

Oh, I know. My goal is to have the SoC branches take over testing for Conch, so I can just scrub those old deprecated ones. -p -- Paul Swartz paulswartz at gmail dot com http://z3p.livejournal.com/ AIM: z3penguin
