fabric.Connection did not ignore comments when reading user name from ssh config

fabric.Connection did not ignore comments when reading user name from ssh config

fabric.Connection("host")

with ssh config file below

-- Host host HostName 10.10.100.23 User ec2-user # comments

--

fabric will read user name name ec2-user # comments instead of ec2-user when using c.put

To Reproduce

<Connection host=10.100.8.4 user=ec2-user # hello gw=proxyjump> user name is ec2-user # hello instead of ec2-user

Expected behaviour A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen. user name should be ec2-user

Environment Make sure your report gets the attention it deserves: bug reports with missing information may be ignored or punted back to you, delaying a fix. The below constitutes a bare minimum; more info is almost always better:

• What version of the Python interpreter are you using? Are you using an alternative interpreter such as PyPy?

Python 3.13.2 (main, Feb 12 2025, 14:59:08) [Clang 19.1.6 ] on darwin

• What operating system are you using both client & server-side?

Mac OS for local Ubuntu for server side

• Are you using OpenSSH server or something else?

OpenSSH server

• Which version or versions of the software are you using?

Name: fabric Version: 3.2.2

• Have you already tried the latest release? yes
• Have you, or can you, try some older releases to pin down where the bug appeared?

No

• How can the developers recreate the bug on their end? If possible, include a copy of your code, the command you used to invoke it, and the full output of your run (if applicable.)

Should related to ssh config parsing

• A common tactic is to pare down your code until a simple (but still bug-causing) “base case” remains. Not only can this help you identify problems which aren’t real bugs, but it means the developer can get to fixing the bug faster.
