Hm, I can't think of a place where we explicitly try to use ssh-askpass (acking for askpass reveals no matches in IPython). Is this perhaps what Python's own getpass uses? What Python and OSX are you using?<div><br>

I'm trying to run an ipcluster on a Mac cluster using SSH. It fails with an error in the log file:<br>
==============<br>
...<br>
[IPClusterStart] Process 'ssh' started: 46805<br>
[IPClusterStart] Process 'engine set' started: [None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None]<br>
[IPClusterStart] ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/libexec/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory<br>
...<br>
==============<br>
<br>
I've done some searching online and found that Mac doesn't have a function 'ssh-askpass' but several workarounds have been made for other bundles (Cornerstone2, for instance has a helper application that this blogger linked to as a workaround - <a href="http://otherside.mimijidi.com/entries/ssh-askpass-on-mac-os-x/" target="_blank">http://otherside.mimijidi.com/entries/ssh-askpass-on-mac-os-x/</a>). Does IPython have something similar, or is this a Mac platform bug?<br>
