Since openssh must handle pty allocation, its support for pty operations across various platforms is more robust than python's. I'd like to use openssh's code to improve on python's pty handling. I know the licenses for openssh and python are different. Can anyone tell me if it's legal to mix openssh code into python? Assuming it is, are the python maintainers willing to accept a python patch that contains some openssh code?

look at the openssh license. yes you can use it. its BSD or better.
