Common methods to help create fabric deplopment scripts for django

The idea is to allow you to use a fabfile.py that has just the unique things for your specific project, while taking advantage of common functions for version control and django tasks.

You can also move configuration out of the fabfile.py into ini style configuration files.

Installation

sudo easy_install django-fab
sudo easy_install http://git.fabfile.org/cgit.cgi/fabric/snapshot/fabric-0.9b1.tar.gz
