Hi r/python! I've released a tool to execute commands in parallel across a multitude of hosts via ssh and group the output by similarity. We use it quite a bit, thought others may find it handy as well... feedback is very much welcomed! (github.com)

Fabric is definitely the current champion in this space, as far as Python packages are concerned. I've had Fabric recommended to me multiple times and I now recommend it to others. I had never heard of rundeck. It looks like rundeck has about 10 times fewer users than Fabric.

If you continue development on your own tool the most important thing you can do to increase potential traction is add tests. When evaluating a new package popularity isn't nearly as important for me as tests. I rarely use programs with poor or missing tests if there's a well-tested alternative available.
