29360	collectstatic docs reference Python2-only Fabric	stvsmth	nobody	"The [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/howto/static-files/deployment/#serving-the-site-and-your-static-files-from-the-same-server Serving the site and your static files from the same server] and the [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/howto/static-files/deployment/#serving-static-files-from-a-dedicated-server Serving static files from a dedicated server ] documentation references Fabric and fabfiles. Fabric (as linked in the docs) is a Python 2.5-2.7 only project. This should probably change since Django 2.0+ is Python3 only.

Fabric has a [http://www.fabfile.org/roadmap.html roadmap] for Python 3 support, last updated May 2015. They propose moving eventually to a Fabric2 ... unfortunately there already exists a [https://pypi.org/project/Fabric3/ Fabric3] fork, so keeping Fabric in the docs could (eventually) lead to confusion.

I searched for existing tickets, #15080 is about the same area of documentation, but a completely different problem.

If the Django devs want to recommend a particular package I would be willing to update the docs.
