Installation as a separate module might be preferable in some cases:

  $ easy_install yourpackage

And then in fabfile:

  from fabric import snapshot_project

It requires fabric to use `pkg_resources.iter_entry_points()` or similar
and `yourpackage` to define entry point in its ``setup.py``:

  setup(...
      entry_points="""
      [fabric.command]
      snapshot_project = yourpackage.mod:Command
      """)
