Silly me - I was concerned they somehow acquired the Fabic python library. http://www.fabfile.org/ http://www.fabfile.org/

  Yeah, that moment of panic when you think something Google acquired is something you use.

    In the case of fabric/fabfile this wouldn't matter, as fabric/fabfile looks dead anyway. No Python 3 support, no road map, last Github activity 5 months ago.

      The latest release was last month. Not that it would be concerning if it really was 5 months ago.

        If I still would be using fabric for deployment I would be concerned.

      There is a roadmap: http://www.fabfile.org/roadmap.html http://www.fabfile.org/roadmap.html One of the goals in the roadmap is to move part of Fabric's functionality into another library (Invoke), which does have recent activity and supports Python 3.

        Unfortunately, the main dev has been saying that he'll be releasing a rewrite with Python 3 support "at the end of the month" for the past 2-3 years. There's actually a fork ("Fabric3") which fully supports both Python 2.7 and Python 3.4+, but the Fabric dev refuses to merge in any PRs that have been submitted to help with Python 3 support. It's somewhat infuriating. https://github.com/fabric/fabric/pulls?q=is%3Apr+python+3 https://github.com/fabric/fabric/pulls?q=is%3Apr+python+3

  Buff, same here. It took me a lot of time to realize the blog post doesn't talk about my fab files. > to free developers from so much of the complexity associated with modern software development, giving them back more time and energy to focus on innovation I was thinking Fabric is a nice tool indeed, but what is the connection, and why they want to add cloud messaging and analytics.
