Fabric: no module named fabric.api

Hi @kaangoksal. Fabric v2 was just released, and the API is significantly different from v1. See: http://docs.fabfile.org/en/latest/upgrading.html

And http://docs.fabfile.org/en/v2/getting-started.html#a-note-about-imports

Latest: http://docs.fabfile.org/en/latest/getting-started.html

pip uninstall fabric
pip install fabric3

@pushplataranjan your tip helped me a lot, it works. Thank's

There is so much outdated documentation and examples out there. 😭

You should use: pipenv install fabric2.

That's an unauthorized fork @pushplataranjan .

See this: http://www.fabfile.org/installing.html#fabric-and-fabric2-vs-fabric3

pip uninstall fabric
pip install fabric3

This actually worked for me!

pip3 unsinstall fabric
pip3 install fabric3

This worked for me. CentOS 8

some detail, for those who end up here:

fabric3 is a python-3-compatible fork of Fabric-1.x, and fabric3 is no longer maintained, for the past 3 years or so: https://github.com/mathiasertl/fabric/#deprecrecated

This may be totally fine for you, it's probably more important that you use a more recent "paramiko" library, which fabric uses for ssh connections. The "fabric" part is really just about organizing tasks and config, however works for you works.

It just so happens that I continue to maintain a Fabric-1.x fork (https://github.com/ploxiln/fab-classic) which includes the changes from fabric3. (To complicate things a bit, recent versions of fab-classic have a default dependency on my own fork of paramiko (https://github.com/ploxiln/paramiko-ng/). It's possible to switch that back to original paramiko with an environment variable - see the README - but for simple cases it is easier to pip uninstall paramiko fabric fabric3; pip install fab-classic)

pip install fabric==1.14.0
pip install fabtools

this worked for me.
