Description
Serving the site and your static files from the same 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 roadmap for Python 3 support, last updated May 2015. They propose moving eventually to a Fabric2 ... unfortunately there already exists a 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.
