A Python module for triggering monkey patching of a Python application, without the need to actually modify the Python application itself to setup the monkey patches.
The package works in conjunction with the wrapt
module. One would
create post import hook patch modules per wrapt
module requirements,
and then list the names of the setuptools entrypoints you wish to activate
in the AUTOWRAPT_BOOTSTRAP
environment variable, when executing Python
within the environment that the autowrapt
module is installed.
To understand what is possible, a set of examples is also installed with this package. To see the examples in action run the following:
AUTOWRAPT_BOOTSTRAP=autowrapt.examples python
At the Python interpreter prompt then enter:
import this
This should print out the Zen of Python as normal, but with an extra line added to the end.
