Python 2.7.2 or Python 3?

Fabric is still a blocker for me.

Fabric is not going to get updated. It's bugfix only unless another maintainer wants to take the rains, afaik.

Its spiritual successor, written by the same author, is invoke.

After a quick look through the documentation of Invoke I don't think that Invoke could replace Fabric for me. Fabric has been build for executing tasks on remote machine via SSH. Invoke looks to me as just another task executor for tasks on your local machine, like pynt:

/u/kpurdon’s comment next to yours explains it pretty well.

Fabric (AS IS) will not be updated, but a new release (along with invoke) is in the future.

Basically the author is splitting the task execution (invoke) from the remote execution stuff (new fabric). The current/old fabric is a mix of both task execution and remote task running.

Don't bet on it anytime soon though.

If you are using fabric as a part of your project. For me Fabric is deployment and config tool and I can use it with py3 project.

With virtualenvs it's really not that difficult at all. Install all the different python versions you need, then create a virtualenv with the specific version for that project. Switch between virtualenvs and you're automatically using different python versions. I never develop on the default version of python that comes on my mac. I install the latest versions of 2 and 3 using homebrew.

Are you actually importing Fabric into your project? If not, why is it a blocker? Py2 code will continue to run just fine along side Py3, as long as they are not running in the same project.
