    """
    Download one or more files from a remote host.

    `~fabric.operations.get` returns an iterable containing the absolute paths
    to all local files downloaded, which will be empty if ``local_path`` was a
    StringIO object (see below for more on using StringIO). This object will
    also exhibit a ``.failed`` attribute containing any remote file paths which
    failed to download, and a ``.succeeded`` attribute equivalent to ``not
    .failed``.

    ``remote_path`` is the remote file or directory path to download, which may
    contain shell glob syntax, e.g. ``"/var/log/apache2/*.log"``, and will have
    tildes replaced by the remote home directory. Relative paths will be
    considered relative to the remote user's home directory, or the current
    remote working directory as manipulated by `~fabric.context_managers.cd`.
    If the remote path points to a directory, that directory will be downloaded
    recursively.

    ``local_path`` is the local file path where the downloaded file or files
    will be stored. If relative, it will honor the local current working
    directory as manipulated by `~fabric.context_managers.lcd`. It may be
    interpolated, using standard Python dict-based interpolation, with the
    following variables:

    * ``host``: The value of ``env.host_string``, eg ``myhostname`` or
      ``user@myhostname-222`` (the colon between hostname and port is turned
      into a dash to maximize filesystem compatibility)
    * ``dirname``: The directory part of the remote file path, e.g. the
      ``src/projectname`` in ``src/projectname/utils.py``.
    * ``basename``: The filename part of the remote file path, e.g. the
      ``utils.py`` in ``src/projectname/utils.py``
    * ``path``: The full remote path, e.g. ``src/projectname/utils.py``.

    While the SFTP protocol (which `get` uses) has no direct ability to download
    files from locations not owned by the connecting user, you may specify
    ``use_sudo=True`` to work around this. When set, this setting allows `get`
    to copy (using sudo) the remote files to a temporary location on the remote end
    (defaults to remote user's ``$HOME``; this may be overridden via ``temp_dir``),
    and then download them to ``local_path``.

    .. note::
        When ``remote_path`` is an absolute directory path, only the inner
        directories will be recreated locally and passed into the above
        variables. So for example, ``get('/var/log', '%(path)s')`` would start
        writing out files like ``apache2/access.log``,
        ``postgresql/8.4/postgresql.log``, etc, in the local working directory.
        It would **not** write out e.g.  ``var/log/apache2/access.log``.

        Additionally, when downloading a single file, ``%(dirname)s`` and
        ``%(path)s`` do not make as much sense and will be empty and equivalent
        to ``%(basename)s``, respectively. Thus a call like
        ``get('/var/log/apache2/access.log', '%(path)s')`` will save a local
        file named ``access.log``, not ``var/log/apache2/access.log``.

        This behavior is intended to be consistent with the command-line
        ``scp`` program.

    If left blank, ``local_path`` defaults to ``"%(host)s/%(path)s"`` in order
    to be safe for multi-host invocations.

    .. warning::
        If your ``local_path`` argument does not contain ``%(host)s`` and your
        `~fabric.operations.get` call runs against multiple hosts, your local
        files will be overwritten on each successive run!

    If ``local_path`` does not make use of the above variables (i.e. if it is a
    simple, explicit file path) it will act similar to ``scp`` or ``cp``,
    overwriting pre-existing files if necessary, downloading into a directory
    if given (e.g. ``get('/path/to/remote_file.txt', 'local_directory')`` will
    create ``local_directory/remote_file.txt``) and so forth.

    ``local_path`` may alternately be a file-like object, such as the result of
    ``open('path', 'w')`` or a ``StringIO`` instance.

    .. note::
        Attempting to `get` a directory into a file-like object is not valid
        and will result in an error.

    .. note::
        This function will use ``seek`` and ``tell`` to overwrite the entire
        contents of the file-like object, in order to be consistent with the
        behavior of `~fabric.operations.put` (which also considers the entire
        file). However, unlike `~fabric.operations.put`, the file pointer will
        not be restored to its previous location, as that doesn't make as much
        sense here and/or may not even be possible.

    .. note::
        If a file-like object such as StringIO has a ``name`` attribute, that
        will be used in Fabric's printed output instead of the default
        ``<file obj>``

    .. versionchanged:: 1.0
        Now honors the remote working directory as manipulated by
        `~fabric.context_managers.cd`, and the local working directory as
        manipulated by `~fabric.context_managers.lcd`.
    .. versionchanged:: 1.0
        Now allows file-like objects in the ``local_path`` argument.
    .. versionchanged:: 1.0
        ``local_path`` may now contain interpolated path- and host-related
        variables.
    .. versionchanged:: 1.0
        Directories may be specified in the ``remote_path`` argument and will
        trigger recursive downloads.
    .. versionchanged:: 1.0
        Return value is now an iterable of downloaded local file paths, which
        also exhibits the ``.failed`` and ``.succeeded`` attributes.
    .. versionchanged:: 1.5
        Allow a ``name`` attribute on file-like objects for log output
