If I have: env.hosts = ['my.host.a', 'my.host.b', 'my.host.c']
, does calling the script with fab -H my.host.a
not override what's defined in the fabfile?
I set env.hosts
as a global at the top of my fabfile. When I pass in -H
, my tasks are still executed on the full list.

The documentation says that the assignment in the fabfile takes precedence.
$ fab -H host1,host2 mytask
Such an invocation is directly equivalent to
env.hosts = ['host1', 'host2']
[...]
It is important to know that these command-line switches are interpreted before your fabfile is loaded: any reassignment to
env.hosts
orenv.roles
in your fabfile will overwrite them.
