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".
