Paramiko RSAKey "private key file is encrypted"

I'm trying to use Paramiko to connect to an SFTP site.

"paramiko": {"hashes": ["sha256:6bef55b882c9d130f8015b9a26f4bd93f710e90fe7478b9dcc810304e79b3cd8","sha256:fedc9b1dd43bc1d45f67f1ceca10bc336605427a46dcdf8dec6bfea3edf57965"            ],"index": "pypi","version": "==3.0.0"        },

I have a .pem file in the form

-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----data for the key-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

Worth mentioning that the key is encrypted with a passphrase.

I attempt to load the key file, providing the password and that works fine

# Works great :)mykey = paramiko.RSAKey.from_private_key_file(key_file_path, password=password)self.ssh_client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())# this explodesself.ssh_client.connect(hostname=settings.ftp_host, username=username, pkey=mykey, port=22)self.ftp = self.ssh_client.open_sftp()

paramiko.ssh_exception.PasswordRequiredException: private key file is encrypted

If I change the connect to

self.ssh_client.connect(hostname=settings.ftp_host, username=username, pkey=mykey, port=22, passphrase=password)

paramiko.ssh_exception.SSHException: OpenSSH private key file checkints do not match

And if I try to use key_filename instead of pkey

self.ssh_client.connect(hostname=settings.ftp_host, username=username, key_filename=key_file_path, port=22, passphrase=password)

ValueError: q must be exactly 160, 224, or 256 bits long

I am able to successfully connect to the SFTP with this key using FileZilla I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong in Paramiko.
