scripts organization

[shashchatter]

Hello all.

How can I organize my scripts in subfolders of /pyscript?

I have PyScript 1.6.4 in HA 2025.8.1 working fine. The initial scripts are all in /pyscript. If I move them to a subfolder under pyscript, say pyscript/scripts or pyscript/folder1 or pyscript/scripts/folder1, and reload pyscript I see in logs that the file is loaded fine. When I invoke it from Developer Tools->Action, I get:

If I add an "import pyscript", I get:

If I add an "from pyscript import ( call_service )", I get:

pyscript module has no such method as call_service. the services are called the way described in the documentation https://hacs-pyscript.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference.html#calling-services
if you want to call pyscript.extract_light_entity_and_device_details call it using pyscript.extract_light_entity_and_device_details()

Thank you so much for the super prompt answer. Much appreciated.

That worked. I have other problem that showed up, but I can debug myself a bit.

I am curious, why does call_service work when the script is directly in /pyscript?

it doesn't

2025-08-19 17:55:15.746 ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.pyscript.file._tryouts] Exception in </config/pyscript/_tryouts.py> line 4:
    from pyscript import call_service
    ^
AttributeError: module 'pyscript' has no attribute 'call_service'

As the documentation states, these are the ways to call a certain service:

service.call("DOMAIN", "SERVICE", entity_id="DOMAIN.ENTITY", other_param=123)
# E.g. service.call("light", "turn_off", entity_id="light.office")
# E.g. service.call("pyscript", "extract_light_entity_and_device_details")
DOMAIN.SERVICE(entity_id="DOMAIN.ENTITY", other_param=123)
# E.g. pyscript.extract_light_entity_and_device_details()
DOMAIN.ENTITY.SERVICE(other_param=123)
# non-applicable in your call

I will use the recommended method. Let me rephrase. Without any import statements, with the script in the base config/pyscript directory and with the pyscript.call_service("extract_light_entity_and_device_details") actually does execute fine and provides the expected output. I don't need that to work, I am just curious.

[ALERTua]

this cannot work.
code:

@service
def tryouts(trigger_type=None, var_name=None, value=None, old_value=None, context=None, **kwargs):
    pyscript.call_service('tryouts1')

@service
def tryouts1(trigger_type=None, var_name=None, value=None, old_value=None, context=None, **kwargs):
    pass

call: pyscript.tryouts
result:

        ^

You are right. I can no longer reproduce it. I must have had an old version lying around with that code, but I likely hadn't run that particular version. Thanks for your help.
