fab-classic is a simple, Pythonic tool for remote execution and deployment.
Project description
fab-classic is a Python (2.7 or 3.4+) library and command-line tool for streamlining the use of SSH for application deployment or systems administration tasks.
fab-classic is forked from Fabric 1.14 and is intended to add only bug fixes and compatibility patches, for projects already using Fabric-1.x in some way. It includes python3 compatibility patches from Fabric3.
Upstream Fabric is now on version 2.x. Fabric-2.x is python3 compatible, and comes after Fabric3. Fabric-2.x has significant compatibility-breaking changes, in order to fix some long-standing limitations.
Install
fab-classic is on PyPI, so you can pip install fab-classic
Be sure to pip uninstall Fabric if you happen to have it installed, because fab-classic uses the same import name “fabric” and entrypoint (tool) name “fab”.
Starting with version 1.16, fab-classic depends on paramiko-ng instead of paramiko. Both of those packages are imported with the name paramiko, and unfortunately that means that you should make sure you uninstall paramiko before paramiko-ng is installed, or you will get strange issues (even if things seem to work at first). So, if upgrading, please first run: pip uninstall paramiko

Usage Introduction
fab-classic 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')
If you save the above as fabfile.py (the default module that fab loads), you can run the tasks defined in it 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 the paramiko-ng library (which Fabric itself uses).
