I will look and see if this is reported already upstream and if so find our if there's a patch to fix or new version that corrects this behaviour. I'll also try to reproduce the error and report upstream if it is not already.
Jeremy -----Original Message----- From: Lars Wirzenius <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subj: Bug#433563: python-paramiko: generating a 160-bit DSS key leads to eternal loop Date: Tue Jul 17, 2007 6:35 pm Size: 1K To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Package: python-paramiko Version: 1.6.4-1 Severity: normal The following code does not seem to ever finish: import paramiko paramiko.DSSKey.generate(bits=160) If I change the 160 to 161, it works, instantly. Amusingly, I ran into this because I wanted my unit test code generate a number of paramiko server instances, each with its own key, so I wanted to pick the shortest possible key and that's 160 bits. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages python-paramiko depends on: ii python 2.4.4-6 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-crypto 2.0.1+dfsg1-2 cryptographic algorithms and proto ii python-support 0.6.4 automated rebuilding support for p python-paramiko recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
