Using parallel-ssh module I'm trying to run SSH commands using Natinve Client but getting SessionHandshakeError. And if I use Paramiko Client instead, everything works fine. I met the requirement of my_pkey.pub being in the same directory as my_pkey.
Here is my code which uses Native Client (changed real IPs to 'ip1' and 'ip2'):
from pssh.pssh2_client import ParallelSSHClient
pkey = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) + '/my_pkey'
hosts = ['ip1', 'ip2']
client = ParallelSSHClient(hosts, user='root', pkey=pkey)
output = client.run_command('hostname')
for host, host_output in output.items():
for line in host_output.stdout:
print(line)
Getting this error:

Here is my code which uses Paramiko Client (changed real IPs to 'ip1' and 'ip2'):
from pssh.pssh_client import ParallelSSHClient
from pssh.utils import load_private_key
key_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) + '/my_pkey'
pkey = load_private_key(key_path)
hosts = ['ip1', 'ip2']
client = ParallelSSHClient(hosts, user='root', pkey=pkey)
output = client.run_command('hostname')
for host, host_output in output.items():
for line in host_output.stdout:
print(line)
And it works. Here's the output (should I care about warnings?):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\paramiko\ecdsakey.py:202: CryptographyDeprecationWarning: signer and verifier have been deprecated. Please use sign and verify instead.

What am I doing wrong with Native Client?
This error was tracked down to the WinCNG back-end used for libssh2 on Windows - it does not support SHA-256 host key hashes which is now the default in recent versions of OpenSSH server.
The latest version of parallel-ssh, 1.6.0, fixes this issue by switching the Windows back-end to OpenSSL for better compatibility and to match the OSX and Linux binary wheels.
See release notes for more details.
