 Typing "y" will add this (here ECDSA) key to the current user's //~/.ssh/known_hosts// file, and you won't get asked anymore unless the target's fingerprint is changed. This security feature is also implemented into Paramiko.
+To initaite an ssh client connection, you could tell Paramiko to use your know_hosts file using a command like:
+<code>
+> python
+>>> import parmiko
+>>> import os
+>>> ssh_client = paramiko.SSHClient('/home/username/.ssh/known_hosts')
+</code>
+Unfortunately (as of Paramiko version 1.15) the ECDSA key format isn't recognized by Paramiko (see: [[https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/issues/243]]) and any connection attempt fails with error: SSHException: Server '172.20.20.3' not found in known_hosts.
+To circumvent this problem we could:
+=== Deactivate hosts keys verification ===
+<code>
+> python
+>>> import paramiko
+>>> ssh_client = paramiko.SSHClient()
+>>> ssh_client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
+>>> ssh_client.connect('172.20.20.3',user='username',password='myPassword')
+</code>
+Of course this is highly unsecure and not recommended at all but in some situations this might come handy, like in a highly changing environment (lab or school), where machines you need to connect to just come and go all the time.
