Paramiko: ImportErrror Cant find module named utils

[twr14152]

So first time posting, so if this the wrong forum apologize. I was trying to run paramiko I get an ImportError for utils. Posted the output below:

I know there's been a change recently per the change log.
I just upgraded to debian 8.4 on virtual box and did a pip install of paramiko, and noticed the error. It seemed to install fine. So for what its worth.

import paramiko
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/paramiko/init.py", line 30, in

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/paramiko/dsskey.py", line 27, in
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.utils import (
ImportError: No module named utils

I traced the path and utils is not in the asymmetric directory

@twr14152 Can you tell how you fixed this issue? Running into the same problem.

Hey Marek,
Unfortunately I was not able to. Enough time passed i began to think it was just a fluke thing. I ended up moving away from debian 8.4 for some other issues, at which point i lost my ability to test. Rather than keep this open without the ability to test and provide real feedback, i thought it best to just close it. I dont know if you can reopen this case or another. Since it wasnt simply a one time event. I would be curious to see what you find. I could but i dont have any real data any more.

Just for reference for others - debian 8.x delivers python-cryptography version 0.6.1. I was able to get my project working by including in requirements.txt newer versions of modules and install them by using pip:

cffi==1.7.0
cryptography==1.3.4

I was able to upgrade cffi and cryptography using:

sudo pip install --upgrade cffi
sudo pip install --upgrade cryptography

I also needed up upgrade PyNaCl:

sudo pip install --upgrade PyNaCl

Debian 8.8
