First thing is you're assigning a list of hosts to 'hosts' variable, hence in 
@hosts(*hosts) - hosts is a list, not a function.  You'd need to rename your 
variable, and also remember to 'from fabric.api import hosts'.

Also, I don't think it will work with a closure, since do_service is a task 
itself, I don't think it can just define additional tasks.  Have a look at 
execute() function in docs, it may be a better fit.
