Pass parameter to fabric task

How can I pass a parameter to a fabric task when calling "fab" from the command line? For example: def task(something=''): print "You said %s" % something $ fab task "hello" You said hello Done. Is it possible to do this without prompting with fabric.operations.prompt?
Fabric 2 task arguments documentation: http://docs.pyinvoke.org/en/latest/concepts/invoking-tasks.html#task-command-line-arguments Fabric 1.X uses the following syntax for passing arguments to tasks: fab task:'hello world' fab task:something='hello' fab task:foo=99,bar=True fab task:foo,bar You can read more about it in Fabric docs.
