.. py:module:: tbot.machine.connector

``tbot.machine.connector``
==========================
Connectors are one of the three parts of a machine:  The connector is
responsible for establishing the initial channel for a machine.  This can work
in many different ways, either a simple subprocess, an ssh-connection, a
serial-console device, or a telnet session.

All connectors should inherit from the
:py:class:`~tbot.machine.connector.Connector` base-class.
