OSError: No such private key file when using OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY
See original GitHub issueSo this took a few hours for me to figure out, and wanted to post the solution online.
Basically paramiko doesn’t support openssh private key format before version 2.7.
Solution A: Ensure paramiko is at least version 2.7
pip3 install paramiko --upgrade
Solution B: Convert your private key to PEM format (usable by paramiko <=2.6)
ssh-keygen -p -m PEM -f ./your_private_key
You’re welcome.

Great. Thanks @Fizzadar
Implemented the warning in https://github.com/Fizzadar/pyinfra/commit/6347e352a3b6ed0dc038e50c9ded52af75ae8b40 (and fixed the general not found vs. invalid key error message), released in
