Hi all,

I'm trying to run a simple task in parallel that captures the OS type (Linux, 
AIX, HP-UX, etc.) of a set of UNIX servers and save this information into a CSV 
file.


However, if I add the @parallel decorator to the task the CSV file is left 
empty (only the header is saved), but if I remove the @parallel decorator then 
everything goes well. Note that the output to the screen via puts works fine in 
both cases.


Please, any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?

Perhaps this is not even a fabric question but a Python one (I'm not sure, 
sorry).


Here is the complete code:


import csv
from fabric.api import env, task, runs_once, parallel, execute, run, puts, hide

env.abort_on_prompts = True
env.always_use_pty = False
env.command_timeout = 3
env.disable_known_hosts = True
env.eagerly_disconnect = True
env.timeout = 3
env.use_shell = False
env.warn_only = True

@parallel(pool_size=5)
def _run(csv_output):
    try:
        with hide('output', 'running'):
            out = run('uname')
    except SystemExit:
        msg = 'error: a password is being requested'
    else:
        msg = str(out)
    puts(msg)
    csv_output.writerow([env.host, msg])
    return str(out)

@task
@runs_once
def run_uname(hosts_file=None):
    if hosts_file:
        with open(hosts_file) as input_:
            host_list = [line.strip() for line in input_]
        env.hosts.extend(host_list)
    with open('output.csv', 'wb') as output:
        writer = csv.writer(output)
        writer.writerow(['HOSTNAME', 'UNAME'])
        with hide('running', 'status'):
            execute(_run, writer)


I run it like this: fab run_uname:test_hosts.txt

My environment is this: RHEL4, Python 2.7.10, Fabric 1.10.2, Paramiko 1.15.2


Thank you!

Felix
