Fabric fabfile for turning a directory of scripts into remote-running tasks. Like magic. Just drop `__init__.py` into a folder containing your executable scripts, and `import script_dir` from your existing `fabfile.py`. Each script file will then be available as a task named `script_dir.script_name`

__init__.py

SCRIPT_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
SUDO_PREFIX = re.compile(r'/(root|sudo)_?', re.I)

    def __init__(self, script_path, name=None, sudo=False):
        super(ScriptTask, self).__init__()
        self.script_path = script_path
        self.script_name = os.path.basename(script_path)

        self.sudo = sudo
        if sudo:

        else:

                mirror_local_mode=True,
                use_sudo=self.sudo
        )
        if self.sudo:
            fabric.api.sudo(self.remote_path)
