Description

Paramiko doesn't support this feature yet. Either add it to Paramiko/our fork of Paramiko, or do some horrible workaround like a subprocess doing ssh -A -N <env.host_string> (if that would even work correctly -- would the key forwarded by that connection be usable by a Paramiko connection?)

See also this LincolnLoop blog post which uses a "route stuff through local()" approach. Not a panacea (doesn't mesh with actual execution strategy; won't pick up any of the context managers like cd(); etc) but still worth investigating as a temporary workaround.
