When trying to install 'SSHLibrary' through Pip3 and source file 'python3 setup.py install' of SSHLibrary on ubuntu failing with the following:

user@<host>:~$ pip3 install robotframework-sshlibrary

The installation doesn't work, because the Python 3 compatibility for SSHLibrary isn't supported yet.
This issue should be closed.

I got this message when I run pybot with my test. Is SSHLibrary not yet supported in 3.0a1?

Some more context would be good to have here. What Python version are you using? Do you have SSHLibary installed? Did the same tests work on earlier Robot Framework version on the same Python installation?

Hi Jussimalinen

In my workable context, with the same test case I am running Robotframework 2.9.2 with python 2.7.

Then, I update to RBF 3.0a1 via command "pip3 install robotframework==3.0a1". With "pybot --version", it shows "Robot Framework 3.0a1 (Python 3.4.3 on linux)".

About SSHLibrary: I am trying to install it also for python3 with cmd "sudo pip3 install robotframework-sshlibrary". It reports the following error

SSHLibrary doesn't yet support Python 3. Hopefully it
will soon. An issue should be submitted to its tracker about that if
there isn't one already.

Do you have problems using SSHLibrary with RF 3.0a1 on Python 2?

Hi Pekkaklarck

Thank you for your answer

In the context of RF3.0a1 and Python2, it has no problem with SSHLibrary.

OK. Then the issue is just that SSHLibrary doesn't
yet support Python 3. There is a plan to add the support in the somewhat
near future, though. You can submit an issue about Python 3 support to
SSHLibrary tracker if there isn't one yet.
