SUMMARY
Add a section to the documentation describing precisely how Ansible
merges custom module_utils/* Python code into the "ansible.module_utils"
namespace.
ISSUE TYPE
COMPONENT NAME
module_utils
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
While implementing some custom modules for Ansible, I found that there is no explicit documentation about the way Ansible merges or exposes code in local "module_utils" directories into the "ansible.module_utils" namespace.
