Pageant can be considered the standard key agent on Windows so it would make sense for paramiko to try to use it for authentication.

While I observed that paramiko has support for pageant, this is not enabled by default.

Also, I was unable to find any example on how to enable pageant support on paramiko,

The documentation from http://www.lag.net/paramiko/docs/ contains only a simple reference to pageant but no example on how to use it.
