Patchwork is a Python (2.6+) toolkit for common Unix deployment and sysadmin operations, such as "install package", "create directory with X owner", etc.

For those familiar with configuration management tools like Chef or Puppet, this library is similar to a standalone version of their "Resources". Unlike those frameworks, however, Patchwork does not presume to tell you how to use these components -- you can use them in deploy scripts, system management tools, or even to build your own Chef or Puppet level system.

Patchwork is implemented on top of the Fabric high-level SSH module.

You can install the development version via pip install patchwork==dev or pip install -e git+https://github.com/fabric/patchwork@master#egg=patchwork-dev.
