Well, apart from Fabric.

You may want to check out Invoke (https://github.com/pyinvoke/invoke); it's the successor to Fabric, and it's Python 3 compatible.
For what I can see, Invoke is just a revamped version of Fabric’s task running components. Fabric 2.0 will "leverage Invoke for task running, leaving Fabric itself much more library oriented".
HN appended that link: https://github.com/pyinvoke/invoke
Fabric is on the way. Paramiko, the ssh library underlying Fabric, now has a Python 3 PR for which all tests pass: https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/pull/233
Fabric isn't part of Django. There is nothing specific about Django in Fabric. In fact, the vast majority of my deployments do not use Fabric.
I am aware of that, but I still consider it one of my favorite libraries, and thought it would be useful to mention that it's not yet py3k-ready. I can imagine quite a few people might depend on it. What are you using instead?
Do you use something in place of Fabric?
Paramiko could be a good example i think...
I was thinking something more like ansible.

Of course I'm partial to my new pave project: https://bitbucket.org/mixmastamyk/pave It is based on fabric, and uses a yaml file to automate it.

No, no, fabric uses paramiko as the ssh abstraction layer.
And reportlab
Last I looked reportlab doesn't even use new-style classes.
