There will be a 2.x branch pushed in the near future with an alpha API for folks to tinker with. It'll be a new Python 3 compatible codebase. See roadmap for details on how all this junk is arranged :)

@FlipperPA: If you want to try Fabric-1.10 under Python 3, then
use this fork:

#1378

I've tried it and it works.
The patches in this fork are not being accepted
by @bitprophet because they break compatibility with
Pytho 2.5, and also because Fabric 2.0 (which is a major rewrite)
will support Python 3.

However, if you are in a bind and need to try existing Fabric
under Python 3, try the above fork.

@bitprophet Is there any updates on a 2.x branch? I'd like to start helping out if possible, and begin using Fabric on Python 3 projects.

I've been using invoke and paramiko together which have served my needs in a Python 3 world. Have you checked them out? http://www.pyinvoke.org/ It seems that bitprophet was moving in this direction, but I won't speak for him.

@lgunsch @FlipperPA If you want to use Fabric with Python 3, then you should use the Fabric3 port by @mathiasertl : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Fabric3

I have used Invoke on a few Python 3 projects already for simple tasks. I was going to try out Fabric 2 for more of a continuous-deployment solution.

Still working exclusively on Fabric 2 related stuff on my OSS days (as usual, much of the work is in Invoke itself). Really hoping to get the alpha out sooner instead of later, at long last. Been using it in bits & pieces at my dayjob!

@bitprophet Do you have a time estimate for a Fabric 2 Alpha release?

@toabi I've been using it even more at work lately and my "required for alpha" todo list has been shrinking rapidly. I'm clearly Bad at Estimates™ but I've been hoping to take the wraps off this month sometime. Time will tell.
