pyinfra-dev/pyinfra v1.5

on GitHub

This release includes a huge number of improvements, major highlights:

Automatic sudo password prompting - at last! pyinfra can now detect when a sudo password is required and will prompt the user.

Global config object - there is now a pyinfra.config object that should be used to set config variables:

from pyinfra import config
config.SUDO = True

This replaces the old style of setting SUDO = True at the top of files which was extracted via the AST. This new object means config variables can be set to anything (including the results of functions) and work across multiple deploy files.
