Re: [Fab-user] How about including an init command?

[Jeff Forcier]

Hey Taras,

Can you give an example of "all the imports"? Offhand the only ones
you might want to have in every fabfile would be:

    from __future__ import with_statement # on 2.5 only
    from fabric.api import * # "bad practices" but useful for us
    from fabric.contrib.x import y # pretty situational really

Given that the 3rd line isn't part of the real base package, that's
only 2 lines (and only one line on Python 2.6!) :)

If your concern is to avoid the "from anything import *", then the
issue is that best practice vs code generation (a non-best practice
typically) and honestly I'd say code generation loses that particular
battle ;)

Let me know your particular situation, though.
