Hi Johannes, Try running: pip install "fabric<2" - to get Fabric 1 :) you apparently haven't pip installed it since 2.0 released! It's a major new release and is backwards incompatible - see http://www.fabfile.org/upgrading.html for details. More info on getting 1.x only is at http://www.fabfile.org/installing-1.x.html .
I highly suggest updating your setup procedures to use a requirements.txt or similar tactic for recording what versions of your dependencies are known to work with your codebase(s) or workflows - see e.g. https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/user_guide/#requirements-files or https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/managing-dependencies/ .
