I'm trying to write a 'simple' script that will set up a socks proxy over ssh and maintain the connection until manually terminated. It's not possible to use key-based authentication so a password will need to be supplied. Also, note, the user is presented with a list of servers to choose from at the beginning. The actual ssh command is: 'ssh -vNCD 23333 user at host'.
I've been tinkering with both pexpect and paramiko but fear I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill. I'm aware both have example scripts for ssh forwarding but, to be honest, they are both too complicated (aka I don't know how to customise them). Here is one script I've attempted to get working and the associated error listing:

Could anyone help me either correct the script I've started or suggest an ockham's-razor-adherent alternative! Many thanks.
