Description:
mysql-workbench has a hardcoded check on the paramiko version number which does not take paramiko 1.7.7.1 into account.

How to repeat:
Install paramiko 1.7.7.1 (which for Gentoo Linux is the default version in the stable branch). 

Run mysql-workbench and see:

Warning! Can't use connect with timeout in paramiko 1.7.7.1 (George)

Suggested fix:
A quick fix would be:

  sed -i -e 's/4,5,6/4,5,6,7/' plugins/wb.admin/backend/wb_admin_ssh.py

A better fix would be to check for the required feature instead of probing the version number, or check the version number in a way that automatically includes newer versions.

Fixed as of 5.2.38:

Workbench would not work with paramiko 1.7+.
