3. setup and teardown

Just as a thought, have you considered moving the logic into decorators?  They essentially provide setup/teardown functionality in that you can controll when the decorated function is executed.  That leads to very readable code:

   address@hidden(source, destination)

    def my_awesomeness():

        # some really awesome task code

Doesn't change that it'd be cool for tunneling to be exposed inside Fabric.  Maybe it should be a decorator.

-T

Might also be good candidate for a  context manager:

    with ssh_tunnel(params):
        ...do stuff...
