What is a monkey patch (monkey patch)

• Mokey patch is to replace the so-called run-time
• For example gevent libraries need to modify the built-in socket
• from gevent import monkey; mokey.patch_socket () so put socket built obstruction replaced nonblocking socket

Look at the code

import socket

print(socket.socket)


print("After monkey patch")
from gevent import monkey
monkey.patch_socket()
print(socket.socket())

import select
print(select.select)
monkey.patch_select()
print("After monkey patch")
print(select.select)


import time
print(time.time())

def _time():
    return 1234

time.time = _time
Print (time.time ())     # This realization of the running to replace the so-called monkey patch
