Use fabric to excute code on a remote server from within python

I would like to call "run()" or "sudo()" with fabric to execute a script on a remote host. However, I want to do this from within python, and not from the command line:

so instead of:

fab.py:
def do_something():
    print "doing something"
    sudo("my_shell_commandline_to_do_something")

and then:

fab do_something

I want to just call do_something from some other python program. How do I do this? How do I supply the remote host IP address, since tehre is no fabricrc file from within python (or is there?)

Nevermind, I found it myself :)

its:

from fabric.operations import sudo
from fabric.context_managers import settings

with (settings(host_string=remote_ip_address, 
user='myuser', 
key_filename='/tmp/.ssh/myKey.pem')):
    sudo('touch a.txt')
