Re: [Fab-user] Importing Fabric Library Locally

[Jeff Forcier]

Yup, the version module isn't auto-imported into the top level, so
doing 'from fabric.version import get_version' is probably the "best"
way to do this. As Todd showed, 'import fabric.version' and then
referencing things in that module like get_version or __version__,
would also work.
