def unwrap_tasks(module, hide_nontasks=False):
"""
Replace task objects on ``module`` with their wrapped functions instead.
Specifically, look for instances of `~fabric.tasks.WrappedCallableTask` and
replace them with their ``.wrapped`` attribute (the original decorated
function.)
This is intended for use with the Sphinx autodoc tool, to be run near the
bottom of a project's ``conf.py``. It ensures that the autodoc extension
will have full access to the "real" function, in terms of function
signature and so forth. Without use of ``unwrap_tasks``, autodoc is unable
to access the function signature (though it is able to see e.g.
``__doc__``.)
For example, at the bottom of your ``conf.py``::
from fabric.docs import unwrap_tasks
import my_package.my_fabfile
unwrap_tasks(my_package.my_fabfile)
You can go above and beyond, and explicitly **hide** all non-task
functions, by saying ``hide_nontasks=True``. This renames all objects
failing the "is it a task?" check so they appear to be private, which will
then cause autodoc to skip over them.
``hide_nontasks`` is thus useful when you have a fabfile mixing in
subroutines with real tasks and want to document *just* the real tasks.
If you run this within an actual Fabric-code-using session (instead of
within a Sphinx ``conf.py``), please seek immediate medical attention.
