Readme
python-monkey-business is a package that provides a decorator for monkey-patching python functions at runtime.
Using pip::
pip install python-monkey-business
Or, to install from source::
pip install -e git+https://github.com/theatlantic/python-monkey-business.git#egg=python-monkey-business
If the source is already checked out, use setuptools::
python setup.py develop
To use python-monkey-business to swap out a function in a class or module at runtime:
.. code-block:: python
import monkeybiz
from foomodule import FooClass
import barmodule
# This replaces FooClass.bar with our method
@monkeybiz.patch(FooClass)
def bar(original_fn, *args, **kwargs):
print "Patched!"
return original_fn(*args, **kwargs)
# This replaces barmodule.baz with our function
@monkeybiz.patch(barmodule)
def baz(original_fn, *args, **kwargs):
#...
The first argument to monkeybiz.patch
can be either a module, a class,
or a list of modules and/or classes. The decorator also takes optional
name
and avoid_doublewrap
keyword arguments. If name
is omitted,
the name of the function being patched will be the name of the function being
decorated. If avoid_doublewrap
is True (the default), then functions and
methods can only be patched once using this function.
Use monkeybiz.unpatch()
to revert a monkey-patched function to its original.
