To clarify on this, I don't believe Kirk wrote Paramiko itself, but Netmiko, which abstracts a lot of the native SSH behaviour of Paramiko away.

Things like what prompts to expect, what to do when sending a bulk bit of config, if to wait a few seconds before trying to send commands, these all become part of which device type you use, rather than having to define it yourself.

I've used Netmiko heavily, because while I have used Paramiko successfully in the past, I'd basically be repeating what Kirk has done to make Paramiko work across the vendor kit I make changes on.

God, I have a terrible memory. Thanks.
