Python - How do I authenticate SSH connection with Fabric module?

Question

I'm attempting to SSH into a Raspberry Pi on a subnet by means of ethernet utilizing the Fabric module however I can't sort out some way to confirm the connection. 

My code so far is as per the following

import fabric  

c = fabric.Connection(host = "192.168.3.151", port = 22, user = "pi")  

c.run("touch Desktop/new_file.txt")

Clearly I haven't put in my password, "Raspberry", anyplace in the above code to confirm the SSH connection. I've been attempting to comprehend the Fabric documentation yet it's a little past me so I'm trusting somebody can reveal to me how to include the password to validate the connection (and furthermore confirm any orders using sudo).

Thanks in advance:)

Alright, it would appear that you can pass choices to the Connection constructor that will be given to SSHClient.connect 

c = fabric.Connection("192.168.3.151", port=22, user="pi", connect_kwargs={'password': 'raspberry'})

Note it's generally an impractical notion to store your passwords in plain text, particularly in code.
