Split Custom Script into multiple files

[MikuuW]

Hello!
I am wondering if it is possible to split custom scripts into multiple files, as one would with regular Python code. I'm not very familiar with Python, but I would expect this to work. In a single file, it works as expected.

Is splitting them generally not an option?

We have more complex scenarios, such as defining complete OpenShift clusters within Netbox using custom scripts. It would be helpful to be able to reuse individual steps within different scenarios. For example, the "create-vm" step within "create-openshift-cluster" or "create-virtual-interface" within "create-virtual-machine."

I've found discussion #14108, but not sure how to apply that into my netbox-docker installation.

My Environment:

• using installation in Podman and OKD
• syncing file with a git data source

tree
├── __init__.py.    # empty file
├── debug.py
└── test.py
1 directory, 3 files

cat debug.py 
from dcim.models import Device
def log_devices(script, devices):
    devices = Device.objects.all()
    if not devices.exists():
        script.log_info("No devices found.")
    for device in devices:
        script.log_success(f"Device: {device.name}")                              

cat test.py 
from extras.scripts import Script
from debug import log_devices

class Test(Script):
    """Test"""

    class Meta:
        name = "test multiple files"

    def run(self, data, commit):
        log_devices(self)

single-file-code

from extras.scripts import Script
from dcim.models import Device


def log_devices(script):
    devices = Device.objects.all()
    if not devices.exists():
        script.log_info("No devices found.")
    for device in devices:
        script.log_success(f"Device: {device.name}")


class Test(Script):
    """Test"""

    class Meta:
        name = "test multiple files"

    def run(self, data, commit):
        log_devices(self)

Thanks!
