Python部署管理工具fabric
fabric是个轻量级的远程维护工具，当然是结合python来使用，先看介绍：
fabric is a python (2.5 or higher) library and command-line tool for streamlining the use of ssh for application deployment or systems administration tasks.
不过需要注意的是fabric只支持2.5以后python，然而rhl5默认的是2.4.3，因此需要首先升级先python。
升级之前是2.4.3：
[root@gtlionsdev ~]# python -v
python 2.4.3
[root@gtlionsdev ~]# wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/python-2.7.3.tar.bz2

提示readline模块失败，囧，先跳过再说。
[root@gtlionsdev python-2.7.3]# make install
[root@gtlionsdev python-2.7.3]# /usr/local/bin/python2.7 -v
python 2.7.3
[root@gtlionsdev python-2.7.3]# mv /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2.4.3.bak
[root@gtlionsdev python-2.7.3]# ln -s /usr/local/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python
[root@gtlionsdev python-2.7.3]# python -v
python 2.7.3
另外由于yum调用python，这个仍然需要使用2.4.3版本，因此需要修改下yum脚本：
[root@gtlionsdev python-2.7.3]# vim /usr/bin/yum
将首行的#!/usr/bin/python改成#!/usr/bin/python2.4，然后测试一下:
[root@gtlionsdev python-2.7.3]# yum list
[root@gtlionsdev python-2.7.3]# yum update
一切正常，ok。
然后接下来开始安装fabric，推荐使用pip来安装，pip是用来替代easy_install的不错的工具：
$ curl -o https://raw.github.com/pypa/virtualenv/master/virtualenv.py
$ python virtualenv.py my_new_env
$ . my_new_env/bin/activate
(my_new_env)$ pip install fabric
安装完成记得把环境变量包含/root/my_new_env/bin进path。
