[Fab-user] put() and command line args

[Philip Jacob]

I'm trying to do the following, which I think will be clear from this  
example:

        fab upload path/to/file.html another/file.html yet/another/file.html

... such that my upload() method will basically take a list of files  
on the command line and then put() each of them onto the fab_hosts.   
However, fab assumes that path/to/file.html is a command that I want  
to execute.

I want to believe that others have happened across this already, but I  
have seen no evidence of this in the mail archives.

I think there are two basic use cases when uploading a list of files:

1) you want to upload a few files (i.e. 5 or so)

2) you want to upload a ton of files (hundreds, etc.)

In case #2, it makes more sense to create a file containing the list  
of files to upload and just iterate over that.  In case #1,  
convenience rules.

Does anybody have any thoughts or am I missing something totally  
obvious?
