> Is there any way it can work on Windows? Fabric can be run on any platform that supports Python, so yes, it will run on Windows. And while most of the development and userbase runs it from Unix-based platforms like Linux and Mac OS X, there's at least a few Windows users who keep us honest :) Cygwin is highly recommended, though not required. In terms of what Fabric can target (i.e. the remote machines connected to) it can target anything that runs a valid SSH2 server and supports single command invocation. > What is the current stable release of Fabric, 0.9 or 1.0? 0.9.1 is the latest stable release; 1.0 is not a real release yet, it's simply the label for the expected next major release. Once 1.0 comes out (which will be soon) both 0.9.x and 1.0.x lines will be supported for a while, and 1.0 will be largely (not entirely) backwards compatible so it should be an easy upgrade. > We have installed Python2.6.5 on our systems, is that good for Fabric? Python 2.6.5 is fine, though you will need to install Paramiko 1.7.6 after installing Fabric, as there is a known issue with our bundled version of the Paramiko library on Python 2.6.5.
