Comment 14 for bug 433846

Bruce: Unfortunately it's not easy to take a branch and build a full Windows installer from it. You could try installing all the components separately (Python, paramiko, plus any plugins you use) and then get a checkout of my branch and run that, but it's a pretty big hassle.

I have tested locally on my Ubuntu system by changing my OpenSSH sshd_config to have ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes and PasswordAuthentication no, and setting BZR_SSH=paramiko. Without my patch it fails as described in this original report (and separately I can see that the server only allows 'publickey' and 'keyboard-interactive' with that configuration). With my patch it prompts for a password and succeeds.

So, I'm confident enough that it's fixed that I'll close the bug. The fix should be included in the 2.0.1 release (and 2.1).
