gorilla 0.1.0

Gorilla is a library that provides a convenient approach to monkey patching.

Defining a function needle() as being an extension for a module guineapig is as easy as:

>>> import gorilla
>>> import guineapig
>>> @gorilla.patch(guineapig)
... def needle():
...     print("awesome")

Marking a class GuineaPig to be patched with a class of our own is no sweat either:

>>> import gorilla
>>> import guineapig
>>> @patch(guineapig, name='GuineaPig')
... class Needle(object):
...     def needle(self, arg):
...         print("Patching %s is awesome" % self.__class__.__name__)
...
...     @classmethod
...     def classic_needle(cls):
...     print("Patching %s is awesome" % cls.__name__)
