If you need to change a module in minor ways (e.g. only provide a custom `thread_ident` function), you can use a technique called "monkey patching" (which is patching at runtime). You can usually assign new values to module variables. Thus, you yould try `threading.thread_ident = <your function>`. This would affect most uses of the function -- which may not be a good idea. Alternatively, you could monkey patch the `logging` module. Look at its code and find out whether it accesses the function directly or indirectly via `threading`. In the first case, you would monkey patch the function, in the second the `threading` variable. You could also use `dm.reuse` (a package maintained on PyPI) to override the method using the function. This way, your change would be even more localized. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
