lcd context switcher is not working in fabric

I'm running Django with python3.2, and recently discovered that fabric doesn't support Python3.

So I created a second virtual environment (fabric-env) just to run fabric out of.

Here's the fab --version output from the virtualenv:

Fabric 1.9.0
Paramiko 1.14.0

python --version

Python 2.7.3

My fab file looks like this (only relevant lines):

from fabric.api import local

def deploy(branch_name):
    with lcd('/var/www/finance'):
        local('git pull /home/user1/dev/' + branch_name)
        local('/var/www/finance/finance-env/bin/python3 manage.py test corefinance')
        local('/var/www/finance/finance-env/bin/python3 manage.py schemamigration corefinance --auto')
        local('/var/www/finance/finance-env/bin/python3 manage.py migrate corefinance')
        local('sudo service apache2 restart')

When I run this deploy function, I'm getting the following error:

File "/var/www/finance/fabfile.py", line 19, in deploy
    with lcd('/var/www/finance'):
NameError: global name 'lcd' is not defined

The fabric documentation says this function should be available. It appears both fabric and Python are recent enough ( just to be sure fabric is not trying to run off of the different Python, I ran this function both inside and outside my virtual environment).

No hits on Google for the error message...

You have not imported lcd. Add the following to the top of your file:

from fabric.context_managers import lcd
