  Description     : common utilities for writing Fabric files

fabtools includes useful functions to help people write Fabric
files. For instance, through its API, it allows to manage system
users, packages, databases, ...

fabtools provides a number of low-level actions, as well as a higher
level interface named fabtools.require. This higher-level interface,
inspired by configuration management tools such as Chef or Puppet, is
declarative and idempotent.

(comments welcome on the long description, which looks like it needs
some expanding)

According to the Python policy, the binary package will be called
python-fabtools.
