Hi Thomas,
Yes, you should try using the list version of the call, I think that
might work better. The function uses a grep regex behind the scenes
and either it's not supporting multiline, or not setting the flag for
it by default (iirc).
Keep in mind that all of these contrib functions are convenience only
- you can always forego them or write code based on their
implementation :)
Thanks,
Jeff

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,
Thomas
