The following code:

    t = paramiko.Transport((hostname, port))
    t.connect(username=username, password=password)
    sftp = t.open_sftp_client()

I had a similar problem, and found that it was due to output from a program 'gvm'. I fixed it by changing my .bashrc file:

#THIS MUST BE AT THE END OF THE FILE FOR GVM TO WORK!!!
#[[ -s "/home/micron/.gvm/bin/gvm-init.sh" ]] && source "/home/micron/.gvm/bin/gvm-init.sh" <== commented this out.
