Any idea how I can use the paramiko.RSAKey.from_private_key() function?
I know there is a from_private_key_file(), but I'm interested in using a function to parse a private key (like below) and use that private key for SSHClient.
Private key (sample):
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----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\npneDFVvwgezCWoDauxNDzu7Nl55qPJsmvfKZ+SKvCajrhQw==\n-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n
Code I wanted to run:
import paramiko
ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
# how do I pass in the private_key, when my private_key (shown above) is in string?
mykey = paramiko.RSAKey.from_private_key(private_key)
ssh.connect('192.168.1.2', username = 'vinod', pkey = mykey)
Many thanks.

A Paramiko SSH Example: Connect to Your Server Using a Password. This section shows you how to authenticate to a remote server with a username and password. To begin, create a new file named first_experiment.py and add the contents of the example file. Ensure that you update the file with your own Linode's details.
class paramiko.agent. AgentKey (agent, blob) Private key held in a local SSH agent. This type of key can be used for authenticating to a remote server (signing). Most other key operations work as expected.
Paramiko is a Python library that makes a connection with a remote device through SSh. Paramiko is using SSH2 as a replacement for SSL to make a secure connection between two devices. It also supports the SFTP client and server model.
Paramiko does not itself leverage OpenSSH-style config file directives, but it does implement a parser for the format, which users can honor themselves (and is used by higher-level libraries, such as Fabric).
Lev's method worked for me:
>>> import paramiko
>>> f = open('/path/to/key.pem','r')
>>> s = f.read()
>>> import StringIO
>>> keyfile = StringIO.StringIO(s)
>>> mykey = paramiko.RSAKey.from_private_key(keyfile)
>>> ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
>>> ssh.connect('myserver.compute-1.amazonaws.com', username='ubuntu', pkey=mykey)
>>> stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command('uptime')
>>> stdout.readlines()
