Are there any implementations of SSH in pure python? Preferably open source?

I'm specifically looking for a client, not server.

Is paramiko really pure python? It seems to require header files in the python-dev (apt) package
As of 1.12.1, the current release, the published source still is pure Python: pypi.python.org/pypi/paramiko/1.12.1 . I'm not sure what package you're looking at.

There is no pure Python library for SSH. paramiko is not pure python, because it doesn't work without pyCrypto dongle. It may carry a pure Python implementation of SSH protocol, but it is not usable as a pure Python library - you still need to install binary pyCrypto extension compiled for your platform, and there is no replacement.
