[Fab-user] append() with multi-line strings

[Thomas Güttler]

I want to use append() with strings containing newlines.

I tried this:

append('.netrc', 'machine source.foo.lan\n    login foo_readonly\n    password 
removed', partial=True)

and I tried it without partial=True.

The lines get added to the file, regardless of existence. They get added again 
and again.

fab --version
Fabric 1.7.0
Paramiko 1.11.0

Should I split the lines to a list before calling append()?

Regards,
