Question:-

What is monkey patching in Python?

Answer:-

n Python, the term monkey patch only refers to dynamic modifications of a class or module at run-time.

Consider the below example:

# m.py

class MyClass:

def f(self):

print "f()"

We can then run the monkey-patch testing like this:

import m

def monkey_f(self):

print "monkey_f()"

m.MyClass.f = monkey_f

obj = m.MyClass()

obj.f()

The output will be as below:

monkey_f()

As we can see, we did make some changes in the behavior of f() in MyClass using the function we defined, monkey_f(), outside of the module m.
