Re: [Fab-user] splitting large fabfile.py

[Jeff Forcier]

Hi Aljosa,

Unforunately, Fabric 0.1 and older do not support splitting a fabfile
into multiple files, so I'm afraid you're out of luck for the time
being.

Fabric 0.9 is on the way and should support this sort of thing; there
is currently an alpha out (http://fabfile.org), and while I do not
suggest using an alpha or beta for production work, you may want to
try it out in a test environment to get an idea of how the final
product might behave.

0.9's main focus is on allowing code to be plain Python with less
magic, so while I haven't yet tried this approach out, it should be
possible for you to perform imports like in your below example, and
have it "just work".

Best,
Jeff
