internal exception AttributeError: 'State' object has no attribute 'config'

[schlamar]

Describe the bug

Running a simple example with exec crashes.

To Reproduce

$ pyinfra incus.fritz.box exec -- echo test
--> Loading config...
--> Loading inventory...
--> An internal exception occurred:

  File "/home/marc/Documents/infra/.venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/pyinfra/context.py", line 55, in __getattr__
    return getattr(self._get_module(), key)
AttributeError: 'State' object has no attribute 'config'

This works pyinfra @ssh/incus.fritz.box exec -- echo test

I guess there is somehow a naming clash with host name and my deploy script (incus.py).

• How was pyinfra installed (source/pip)? uv

Try pyinfra @ssh/incus.fritz.box exec -- echo test

Augh I thought 3.4.1 fixed this 😩

[Fizzadar]

Figured it out - it's due to searching for Python code matching the target using find_spec which turns out might import the code:

If the name is for submodule (contains a dot), the parent module is automatically imported.
