executor

class fabric.executor.Executor(collection, config=None, core=None)

Executor subclass which understands Fabric concepts.

Designed to work in tandem with Fabric’s @task/Task, and is capable of acting on information stored on the resulting objects – such as default host lists.

This class is written to be backwards compatible with vanilla Invoke-level tasks, which it simply delegates to its superclass.

Please see the parent class’ documentation for details on most public API members and object lifecycle.
