talking to ssh-agent from python: throw me a bone?

talking to ssh-agent from python: throw me a bone?

Hmm... ConfidentialityVersusAvailability... I'd like to talk to ssh-agent from various python hacks (perhaps cwm tweaks, or browser plug-ins, screensaver connections... hmm...). There... sshAuth.py communicates with ssh-agent... but... hmm... I can't verify the signature using the python cryptography toolkit.

I tried posting to openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org and PYTHON-CRYPTO@NIC.SURFNET.NL but I guess you have to subscribe to post to those, and I don't think I'm up to that. I got one reply from amk asking a clarifying question, but he hasn't found time to reply in substance.

Anybody wanna throw me a bone?
