How does this compare to Fabric? Fabric offers a load of extra stuff to do with SSH/Deployment, but just looking at the basic features of running Python tasks from the command line, why should I use this over Fabric?

Also, why use `manager.arg` for documenting arguments, why not just use Python docstrings?



I was wondering the same thing. I also strongly associate manage.py with Django, so it confused me a bit when I first read it.


Fabric CLI syntax has been designed to chain commands.

Also thought about parsing args docstrings to get help and type, will be part of an upcoming release.


This seems to be for local manage scripts, like the one that comes with Django.

A couple years ago I wrote a similar library:

and I'm not the only one who feel argparse are optparse look very unpythonic (eg: http://flask-script.readthedocs.org/en/latest/).
