Is there a "twisted" way to run AMP over an SSH connection (with conch?)

The manual way of doing what I want is to connect two machines with a TCP port tunneled over ssh, and have my AMP client/server talk over the manually tunneled port.

You can run any IProtocol over conch. It's just not very easy or well documented. Take a look at doc/conch/examples/sshsimpleclient.py for the first part of what's necessary (setting up a client connection and opening some channels). sshsimpleserver.py in the same directory will show you how to run a custom protocol on the server in a /shell/. You may not want to use a shell, though. There are plans to make a much simpler API for setting up SSH connections intended for programmatic (as opposed to interactive shell) use, but it will likely be some time before they come to fruition.
