        **BIG HONKIN' DISCLAIMER:** This software is currently in beta. It's
        test-driven and dogfooded, but feature set & documentation has holes & rough
        spots. **Please** make sure you search the `known issues
        <https://github.com/pyinvoke/invoke/issues>`_ before submitting new bug reports
        -- we already know it doesn't do X, Y and Z and will be sprinting to beef
        things up ASAP.
        
        **Thank you!**
        
        ----
        
        Invoke is a Python (2.6+ and 3.2+) task execution tool & library, drawing inspiration from various sources to arrive at a powerful & clean feature set.
        
        * Like Ruby's Rake tool and Invoke's own predecessor Fabric 1.x, it provides a
          clean, high level API for running shell commands and defining/organizing
          task functions from a ``tasks.py`` file::
        
            from invoke import run, task
        
            @task
            def clean(docs=False, bytecode=False, extra=''):
                patterns = ['build']
                if docs:
                    patterns.append('docs/_build')
                if bytecode:
                    patterns.append('**/*.pyc')
                if extra:
                    patterns.append(extra)
                for pattern in patterns:
                    run("rm -rf %s" % pattern)
        
            @task
            def build(docs=False):
                run("python setup.py build")
                if docs:
                    run("sphinx-build docs docs/_build")
        
        * From GNU Make, it inherits an emphasis on minimal boilerplate for common
          patterns and the ability to run multiple tasks in a single invocation::
        
            $ invoke clean build
        
        * Following the lead of most Unix CLI applications, it offers a traditional
          flag-based style of command-line parsing, deriving flag names and value types
          from task signatures (optionally, of course!)::
        
            $ invoke clean --docs --bytecode build --docs --extra='**/*.pyo'
            $ invoke clean -d -b build --docs -e '**/*.pyo'
            $ invoke clean -db build -de '**/*.pyo'
        
        * Like many of its predecessors, it offers advanced features as well --
          namespacing, task aliasing, before/after hooks, parallel execution and more.
