Re: [Fab-user] Getting SyntaxError: invalid syntax from fab

[Jeff Forcier]

Hi Stas,

Unfortunately, Fabric is only compatible with Python 2.5 and up (due
to using some new Python features in 2.5,) so 2.4 is not supported :(

It's possible to get Python 2.5 on CentOS, but it usually involves
building from source (though there are some i386 RPMs for 2.5 floating
around) so unsure if that's worth it in your case.

Best of luck,
Jeff
