gorilla 0.2.0

Features

• creation of patches using decorators.

• creation of batches of patches using the members of either classes or modules.

• warns when patching an existing attribute and/or store the overriden attribute to make it accessible.

• customizable behaviour.

• allows the dynamic creation of patches at runtime.

• compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3.

Usage

Marking a function my_function() as being a patch for a module destination is as easy as:

>>> import gorilla
>>> import destination
>>> @gorilla.patch(destination)
... def my_function():
...     print("Hello world!")

Marking a class destination.Class to be patched with the members of another class is no sweat either:

>>> import gorilla
>>> import destination
>>> @gorilla.patches(destination.Class)
... class MyClass(object):
...     def method(self):
...         print("Hello")
...     @classmethod
...     def class_method(cls):
...         print("world!")

See the overview and tutorial sections of the documentation for more details.
