Jeff,

Ah!  That works perfect.  Thanks!

Hey Nick,

Did you check out the 'load' Fab command? It's for loading up other
fabfiles and I'm pretty sure that's exactly what you need, based on
your original mail. Let me know if that turns out not to be the case.

Actually, looks like I spoke too soon.  The functions in my global
definitions are included fine, but do not inherit the fab-specific methods,
such as 'local', 'run', etc.  Here's what my file structure looks like:
~/fabric-global/fabric_global.py
(~/fabric-global is on PYTHONPATH)
fabric_global.py:
def hello():
"Print hello"
local("echo hello")

My fabfile.py:
from fabric_global import *
set(fab_user = 'admin')
...
Though when running 'fab hello', I get:
NameError: global name 'local' is not defined.
Sorry for the noob problem!

Never mind, all set.  Not being a Python expert, had to keep poking around.
My solution was to simply create a Python module defining my base
functions, and simply import the module in my fabfile.

We have a lot of projects that we'd like to integrate with fab, specifically
for deploying the project with SVN and dumping the production database into
our workstations.
This would require us to create fabfiles for each project.  However, we
would like to specify default functions for deploying and database dumping
in a separate, project-agnostic location, and specify only project settings
such as mysql connection credentials in each project's fabfile.
What's the best way to do this?
