Hate windows all you want. What is the easiest way to setup SSH on Windows? Well, there’s PuTTY. But what about through Python?

I guess, you know the way Windows is, that downloading files from web pages isn’t all that hard. Of course, that is really the only builtin behavior that is guaranteed on Windows systems. ftp? Sometimes that is available, sometimes not. So, those are your options for getting data onto a Windows computer to begin with.
Okay, finally! I found it! It’s in the Paramiko source code repository. Demos. Of course. I just needed to look a little bit harder. Wow, sometimes it really surprises me that ta sub-par results comes out on top in Google search results, but I should have known better. You have been forewarned.

Okay, so it works. Just run demo_simple.py', but don't forget to do
data.decode('utf-8') before writes in interactive.py’! Yes, yes, the
demo code wasn’t quite ported to Python 3.
Oh yeah, there’s another caveat. ANSI escape sequences don’t get translated inside of your NT command shell.

Is it not possible to do the translation from the NT command shell?
Yes, as far as Python programs are concerned. There are two solutions, the second of which, `colorama’, is the preferred solution. And yes, you’ll conveniently find it in your Python package manager.
