**EDIT: this was not and issue, I just shouldn’t have suffixed my script with `.py`. A habit from other editors I guess.**

As mentioned [in this post](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/nightly-builds-are-back-project-resource-primer/22304), the new custom scripts are no longer reside under separate `project.*` and `shared.*` namespaces.

Now you can create them directly. But I wonder how you can use them from a button.

I’ve tried importing `myScript`, prefixing it with `project.`, and using it directly like this:

```auto
myScript.myFunction("test")

```

But it always fails to find my function.

Huh, maybe we should discourage/disallow naming your scripts or modules anything that wouldn’t be a valid identifier (at least in the UI, can’t restrict what happens on disk).
