[Baypiggies] Alternatives to Python Fabric for SSH remote execution for Python 3?

There is none. Fabric is the best.

Subject:[Baypiggies] Alternatives to Python Fabric for SSH remote execution for Python 3?

Hi,

I was recently doing QA work at a startup, and extensively used

Fabric ( http://fabfile.org ) for execute commands remotely over SSH.

I used only a few functions from this library, such as

fabric.api.run() , fabric.api.cd(), fabric.api.put(), fabric.api.get().

This allowed me to run a remote command, change to a remote directory,

put a file, and get a file, all over SSH.

For my uses, this worked out quite well.  I really liked this library a lot.

The only downside is the library does not work with Python 3.

I've tried this patch to add Python 3 support: https://github.com/fabric/fabric/issues/1378

and it works.  However, the author of Fabric is not accepting this patch

because he does not want to drop support for Python 2.5.

The author is working on a rewrite called Pyinvoke ( http://www.pyinvoke.org/ )

which will support Python 3, but that is very early pre-alpha stuff.

Can anyone recommend an alternate library for doing SSH remote

execution, which works on Python 2 and Python 3, and is simple to use?

Since Fabric layers on top of the Paramiko ( http://paramiko.org ) SSH library,

is using that directly the best way to go?
