Re: [Fab-user] Fabric as a Library and fabfile

[Ryan Langford]

Thanks!  I got it now:

--------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
#from fabric.api import *

import sys
sys.path.append("/path/to/fabfile")
import ryanfab

ryanfab.execute(ryanfab.hello)
--------------------------------------------------

And I get:
address@hidden/fab-import$ ./test.py
Hello World
address@hidden:~/fab-import$

Thanks again for the help!
