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 <https://github.com/fabric/fabric/tree/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 <https://github.com/mathiasertl/fabric/>`_.

You probably should not use this for new projects, in that case you should
consider Fabric-2.x from http://www.fabfile.org/ or maybe Ansible or something else.

Documentation for Fabric 1.x applies to fab-classic: http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.14/

For quick command reference, execute ``fab --help``.

------

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:

.. code-block:: python

    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 e.g. the ``Paramiko`` library
(which Fabric itself uses).
