Sshconf is a library for reading and modifying your ssh/config file in a non-intrusive way, meaning your file should look more or less the same after modifications. Idea is to keep it simple, so you can modify it for your needs.

Install through pip is the most easy way. You can install from the Git source directly:
pip install sshconf
Below is some example use:
from __future__ import print_function
from sshconf import read_ssh_config, empty_ssh_config
from os.path import expanduser
c = read_ssh_config(expanduser("~/.ssh/config"))
print("hosts", c.hosts())
# assuming you have a host "svu"
print("svu host", c.host("svu")) # print the settings
c.set("svu", Hostname="ssh.svu.local", Port=1234)
print("svu host now", c.host("svu"))
c.unset("svu", "port")
print("svu host now", c.host("svu"))
c.add("newsvu", Hostname="ssh-new.svu.local", Port=22, User="stud1234")
print("newsvu", c.host("newsvu"))
c.rename("newsvu", "svu-new")
print("svu-new", c.host("svu-new"))
c.write(expanduser("~/.ssh/newconfig")) # write to new file
# creating a new config file.
c2 = empty_ssh_config()
c2.add("svu", Hostname="ssh.svu.local", User="teachmca", Port=22)
c2.write("newconfig")
c2.remove("svu") # remove
sshconf is created at the Department of Computer Science at Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati, INDIA by a student as part of his projects.
