For the `fab` tool to pick up functions in your fabfile module/package as
tasks, you need to decorate them with the @task decorator (specifically
fabric.task). See
http://docs.fabfile.org/en/2.4/getting-started.html#addendum-the-fab-command-line-tool
What documentation are you following? It sounds fairly incomplete and could
be fixed.
