Re: [Fab-user] redundant imported tasks in 'fab -l'

[Jeff Forcier]

Hi,

As Jens pointed out, this is a known problem; the namespace feature
overall is relatively immature and is clunky in nontrivial use cases.
This sort of issue has been on my mind a lot when I've been thinking
about the next version and I expect that API to be more usable &
explicit.

Most workarounds for now involve making sure the module (or functions
in it) showing up 2x, are only visible at module-level in one place
(Fab builds the namespace by crawling your top-level imports, then
those files' top-level imports, etc). Typically this means importing
things inside the functions that use them, which is somewhat ugly and
non-idiomatic, but does work to "hide" the doubles.

Best (& apologies :)),
Jeff
