Convenient approach to monkey patching.

gorilla's Issues

Ability to unregister and reload patches

Hi
Would it be possible to add an unregister_extensions() function? Or have the register_extensions function do a reload() of the packages passed into it? I think it would speed up developing with gorilla and help with troubleshooting
Thanks for the awesome module

Projects using gorilla

Hi,

your gorilla project is now used by mlflow. Just thought you may want to mention it in your "Out there" part. (autolog functionality)

Cannot change behavior of imported function.

If the function has already been loaded in another module at the beginning, then after we do the monkey patch in the original module, that already loaded function's behavior in another module is still not changed.

Eg. mod1.py has func_a, func_a is imported in mod2.py. We monkey patch func_a in mod1.py, but before we do the modification, func_a is already imported into mod2.py for some reason. In this case, the func_a in mod2.py is not updated.

Patching a global variable

This is great and works really well for functions and classes, but what would be your recommended way to patch a global variable in a module please?

Do you plan to register the latest version with PyPI?

Do you plan to register the latest version with PyPI?
I would like to use gorilla.revert function.
