[Fab-user] Referencing submodule tasks in a parent

[Sean Laurent]

So I have a submodule called "web" and it has an "__init__.py", as well as two modules:

fabfile/

  __init__.py

  web/

    __init__.py

    admin.py

    webapp.py

In web/__init__.py, I have defined a function called "install_latest_webapp()" that should run on a remote machine. Within admin.py and webapp.py, I defined tasks to install the latest "development" version of a webapp. The scripts look something like:

--admin.py---

from fabric.api import *

@task

def deploy_dev():

    install_latest_webapp("admin", "development")

---end---

That worked great. But then I wanted to define a separate task in web/__init__.py that calls install_latest_webapp() in both admin.py and webapp.py:

---web/__init__.py---

from fabric.api import *

import admin

import webapp

@task

def deploy_dev():

  admin.install_latest_webapp()

  webapp.install_latest_webapp()

---end---

That doesn't work:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'install_latest_webapp'

What's the best way to accomplish this?
