Fabric is a simple, Pythonic tool for remote execution and deployment
Fabric is a Python (2.5 or higher) library and command-line tool for
streamlining the use of SSH for application deployment or systems
administration tasks.
It provides a basic suite of operations for executing local or remote shell
commands (normally or via sudo) and uploading/downloading files, as well as
auxiliary functionality such as prompting the running user for input, or
aborting execution.
Typical use involves creating a Python module containing one or more functions,
then executing them via the fab command-line tool. Below is a small but
complete "fabfile" containing a single task:
from fabric.api import run
def host_type():
run('uname -s')
Once a task is defined, it may be run on one or more servers, like so:
$ fab -H localhost,linuxbox host_type
[localhost] run: uname -s
[localhost] out: Darwin
[linuxbox] run: uname -s
[linuxbox] out: Linux
Done.
Disconnecting from localhost... done.
Disconnecting from linuxbox... done.
In addition to use via the fab tool, Fabric's components may be imported
into other Python code, providing a Pythonic interface to the SSH protocol
suite at a higher level than that provided by e.g. Paramiko (which
Fabric itself leverages.)

Revision 43 (latest revision is 45)
- Update to 3.0.1 * [Bug] #2241: A typo prevented Fabric’s command runner from properly calling its superclass stop() method, which in tandem with a related Invoke bug meant messy or long shutdowns in many scenarios. - Changes from 3.0.0 * [Feature]: Change the default configuration value for inline_ssh_env from False to True, to better align with the practicalities of common SSH server configurations. - Warning This change is backwards incompatible if you were using environment-variable-setting kwargs or config settings, such as Connection.run(command, env={'SOME': 'ENV VARS'}), and were not already explicitly specifying the value of inline_ssh_env. * [Bug] #1981: (fixed in #2195) Automatically close any open SFTP session during fabric.connection.Connection.close; this avoids issues encountered upon re-opening a previously-closed connection object. * [Support]: Drop support for Python <3.6, including Python 2. - Warning This is a backwards incompatible change if you are not yet on Python 3.6 or above; however, pip shouldn’t offer you this version of Fabric as long as your pip version understands python_requires metadata. - Drop remove-mock.patch because now in upstream. - Drop remove-pathlib2.patch because now in upstream.
