Python Fabric: How to answer to keyboard input?
If you are looking for a user to confirm an operation, use the confrim method.
if fabric.contrib.console.confirm("You tests failed do you want to continue?"): #continue processingOr if you are looking for a way to get input from the user, use the prompt method.
password = fabric.operations.prompt("What is your password?")
Why can't you just use pipes?
For example, for an automated auto accept, just use yes, that just outputs a neverending stream of y.
yes | rm *.txt

Those both methods are valid and works.
I choose the first one, because I didn't want to have any interaction with my deployment system.
So here is the solution I used:
% yes | ./manage.py rebuild_index
