Re: [Fab-user] abort_on_prompts

Thanks. I think the catching SystemExit hack works for me.

Hi Zhigang,

This is more appropriate for the mailing list -- emailing the dev
directly when a list exists is sometimes considered rude ;)

That said, I want to limit the number of options & behaviors we add to
fabric 1.x (Fabric 2.x will use far more exceptions for this sort of
thing, thus easily catchable) so I'm not sure adding this extra layer
of "failing" is worth the tradeoff.

However, you can currently catch "aborts" by using an "except
SystemExit". It's a bit of a hack, of course, but it does function
pretty well.
