Is there a Rake equivalent in Python?
Invoke — Fabric without the SSH dependencies.
The Fabric roadmap discusses that Fabric 1.x will be split into three portions:
- Invoke — The non-SSH task execution.
- Fabric 2.x — The remote execution and deployment library that utilizes Invoke.
- Patchwork — The "common deployment/sysadmin operations, built on Fabric."
Invoke is a Python (2.6+ and 3.3+) task execution tool & library, drawing inspiration from various sources to arrive at a powerful & clean feature set.
Below are a few descriptive statements from Invoke's website:
- Invoke is a Python (2.6+ and 3.3+) task execution tool & library, drawing inspiration from various sources to arrive at a powerful & clean feature set.
- Like Ruby’s Rake tool and Invoke’s own predecessor Fabric 1.x, it provides a clean, high level API for running shell commands and defining/organizing task functions from a tasks.py file.
Shovel seems promising:

Waf is a Python-based framework for configuring, compiling and installing applications. It derives from the concepts of other build tools such as Scons, Autotools, CMake or Ant.
Paver has a similar set of goals, though I don't really know how it compares.
