One real-world example: in my new coverage analysis tool (to be
released any month now), I need to trace threads without changing any
code. To do so, I redefine the thread.start_new_thread() function from
outside the thread module, like so:
orig_start_new_thread = thread.start_new_thread
def traced_start_new_thread(func, args, kwargs={}):
return orig_start_new_thread(traced_func_call, (func, args, kwargs))
def traced_func_call(func, args, kwargs):
sys.settrace(my_trace_func)
func(*args, **kwargs)
thread.start_new_thread = traced_start_new_thread
Granted, doing something like this on a regular basis is really bad
coding style, but the ability to do something like this when I really
need it is what I love about Python.
