HI All, I've been looking around for something easier to use than paver for running shell commands. Fabric looked like a possibility, but it doesn't support Python 3 and in currently in the midst of a rewrite, not least because it has become burdened with technical dept. Invoke <http://docs.pyinvoke.org/en/0.12.2/> splits off fabric's local functionality, supports Python3, and looks to be in active, if not yet finished, development. It is python but with a make flavor. Indeed, I wonder if it might possible to use it in place of make for the documentation. It also makes it easier to work with the output of shell commands, which would be helpful for making lists of authors and commits for releases. In any case, I thought it worth raising the topic on the list to see if others had suggestions or forceful disagreements.
Thoughts? Chuck
