Re: [Fab-user] RE: run fab as a user with sudo permission

[Jeff Forcier]

Hi,

Fabric definitely runs as a normal user just fine, in fact I'm pretty
sure that is the way almost everybody uses it :) If you've not used
any Python based software under your non-root user account, it's
possible that you installed it (Python) in such a way that it is owned
by root.

It sounds like you have an idea about which aspects of your system are
not set up right to run Python as a normal user, so I'd keep going
down that road and see what's up.

Best,
Jeff
