Description : Pythonic task execution
Invoke is a Python (2.6+ and 3.2+) task execution tool and library, drawing
inspiration from various sources to arrive at a powerful and clean feature
set.
.
Like Ruby's Rake tool and Invoke's own predecessor Fabric 1.x, it provides a
clean, high level API for running shell commands and defining/organizing task
functions from a tasks.py file.
.
From GNU Make, it inherits an emphasis on minimal boilerplate for common
patterns and the ability to run multiple tasks in a single invocation.
.
Following the lead of most Unix CLI applications, it offers a traditional
flag-based style of command-line parsing, deriving flag names and value types
from task signatures.
.
Like many of its predecessors, it offers advanced features as well:
namespacing, task aliasing, before/after hooks, parallel execution and more.
This is yet another (indirect) dependency for OpenStack Fuel.
