Fabric

Which version of fabric does this require? I've have the latest 1.x branch installed:

Name: Fabric
Version: 1.13.1

Getting an exception when trying to use this api.

File "/srv/tsheets/lib/python3.6/site-packages/fabric/context_managers.py", line 535
def accept(channel, (src_addr, src_port), (dest_addr, dest_port)):

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I believe this is actually an issue with the syntax used for importing. The code just needs to be updated to use a local import.

If I try to import and use this tsheets module, I get an error like:

from tsheets.api import TSheets

File "site-packages/tsheets/init.py", line 1, in
import repos
File "site-packages/repos.py", line 9, in
from fabric.api import local, lcd as cd, task
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fabric.api'

I believe this is because tsheets/init.py should be using a different import syntax.
Instead of
"import repos"
It should be doing:
"from . import repos"

• i.e. it should import the local module "tsheets.repos". NOT the separate python package 'repos'.[1]

Without the local import specification, python was attempting to import the separate python package 'repos'[1].
If you happened to already have the 'repos' package installed on your system, depending on the version, the python code inside 'repos' started with this code:
"from fabric.api import ..."

This import call inside 'repos' would then attempt to import the 'fabric' package.

Neither 'fabric' nor 'repos' seem to be needed to run this tsheets python module.
It just needs to use a local, relative import, to use its own code.

My patch in #6 should fix this.

The fix is merged to master. Thanks once again Dave!
