using fabric in a lshell

[MuschPusch]

Hey, do you know if it's possible in some way to use fabric to execute commands in a lshell environment? I tried setting up the environment shell in fabric to '/usr/bin/lshell' but it doesn't work.

Hey,

I have just managed to make it work by setting env.use_shell = False in my fabfile, and --no-pty on the command-line.

Here is my fabfile:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from fabric.api import *
import sys

env.user = 'machi'
env.hosts = ['localhost']
env.use_shell = False

@task
def testing():
    run("ls")

Running:

mazzika:/tmp$ fab --no-pty -f fabtest.py testing
[localhost] Executing task 'testing'
[localhost] run: ls
[localhost] out: Desktop
...
[localhost] out: Videos
[localhost] out: 

Done.
Disconnecting from localhost... done.

Hope this helps!
