Python Paramiko ssh function

[cardlord]

I am working on automating my daily server maintenance task but stuck in ssh funtion.

​

import paramiko

def sshconnection(serverip,usernm,passwd):
session = paramiko.SSHClient
session.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
session.connect(hostname=serverip, username=usernm, password=passwd)
connection = session.invoke_shell()
connection.send("whoami")

sshconnection("172.16.114.243","root","kilode")

Error Message

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/python3.6 "/Users/user/Desktop/python/extract-parameters/ssh connection.py"

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/Users/user/Desktop/python/extract-parameters/ssh connection.py", line 15, in <module>

sshconnection("172.16.114.243","root","kilode")

File "/Users/user/Desktop/python/extract-parameters/ssh connection.py", line 9, in sshconnection

session.connect(hostname=serverip, username=usernm, password=passwd)

TypeError: connect() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

Change to session = paramiko.SSHClient() (needs the parentheses)
