SSH - Python with paramiko issue

I've been trying to get this to work but keep getting the same errors. I've tried the fqdn and ip of the host. I've tried to pass it with credentials and without. I've looked at the lines indicated in the error message. Searched google, but cannot figure out why this is not working:

import paramiko
ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.connect('host', username='loginname')
stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command("pwd")
stdout.readlines()

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "audit.py", line 7, in <module>
    ssh.connect('host', username='loginname')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/paramiko/client.py", line 338, in connect
    self._auth(username, password, pkey, key_filenames, allow_agent, look_for_keys)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/paramiko/client.py", line 520, in _auth
    raise SSHException('No authentication methods available')

You should provide either a password or a private key (or both), otherwise the SSH client does not know how to authenticate with the login data.

Here is my code example for your reference.

#!/usr/bin/python

from StringIO import StringIO
import paramiko 

class SshClient:
    "A wrapper of paramiko.SSHClient"
    TIMEOUT = 4

    def __init__(self, host, port, username, password, key=None, passphrase=None):
        self.username = username
        self.password = password
        self.client = paramiko.SSHClient()
        self.client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
        if key is not None:
            key = paramiko.RSAKey.from_private_key(StringIO(key), password=passphrase)
        self.client.connect(host, port, username=username, password=password, pkey=key, timeout=self.TIMEOUT)

    def close(self):
        if self.client is not None:
            self.client.close()
            self.client = None

    def execute(self, command, sudo=False):
        feed_password = False
        if sudo and self.username != "root":
            command = "sudo -S -p '' %s" % command
            feed_password = self.password is not None and len(self.password) > 0
        stdin, stdout, stderr = self.client.exec_command(command)
        if feed_password:
            stdin.write(self.password + "\n")
            stdin.flush()
        return {'out': stdout.readlines(), 
                'err': stderr.readlines(),
                'retval': stdout.channel.recv_exit_status()}

if __name__ == "__main__":
    client = SshClient(host='host', port=22, username='username', password='password') 
    try:
       ret = client.execute('dmesg', sudo=True)
       print "  ".join(ret["out"]), "  E ".join(ret["err"]), ret["retval"]
    finally:
      client.close()

before ssh.connect you need:
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())

Then you need to do something with stdout.read() like:

print stdout.read()
