Description
Hi,
Perhaps it is not wise but currently as a quick fix I use reticulate::source_python to load a Python function in .onLoad part. My problem is that function is not callable when the package is loaded...unless I define the environment (using envir parameter of source_python) as globalenv().
Is it possible to have the function in the package namespace?
I am very new to this package by the way. Though I needed a Python function and needed a quick fix.

Research direction
Start with reticulate::source_python and the .onLoad example described in the issue, including the envir argument and globalenv() behavior. Determine whether a sourced Python function can be made callable from the package namespace; done would be a documented or reproducible resolution of that namespace behavior.
