"""
Call to set namespace of tasks declared after the call.
It is often desired to call this function with the keyword argument
``scope=__name__``.
The ``scope`` keyword makes it so that this call is only effective for task
classes with a matching [*]_ ``__module__``. The default value for
``scope`` is the empty string, which means all classes. Multiple calls with
the same scope simply replace each other.
The namespace of a :py:class:`Task` can also be changed by specifying the property
``task_namespace``.
.. code-block:: python
class Task2(luigi.Task):
task_namespace = 'namespace2'
This explicit setting takes priority over whatever is set in the
``namespace()`` method, and it's also inherited through normal python
inheritence.
There's no equivalent way to set the ``task_family``.
*New since Luigi 2.6.0:* ``scope`` keyword argument.

``a.b`` vs ``a.b.c``, the more specific one (``a.b.c``) wins.

Same as :py:func:`namespace`, but instead of a constant namespace, it will
be set to the ``__module__`` of the task class. This is desirable for these
reasons:
* Two tasks with the same name will not have conflicting task families
* It's more pythonic, as modules are Python's recommended way to
do namespacing.
* It's traceable. When you see the full name of a task, you can immediately
identify where it is defined.
We recommend calling this function from your package's outermost
``__init__.py`` file. The file contents could look like this:
.. code-block:: python
import luigi
luigi.auto_namespace(scope=__name__)
To reset an ``auto_namespace()`` call, you can use
``namespace(scope='my_scope')``. But this will not be
needed (and is also discouraged) if you use the ``scope`` kwarg.

my_task_2 = externalize(MyTask2(param='foo'))
If you however want a task class to be external from the beginning, you're
better off inheriting :py:class:`ExternalTask` rather than :py:class:`Task`.
This function tries to be side-effect free by creating a copy of the class
or the object passed in and then modify that object. In particular this
code shouldn't do anything.
