You should be very careful about how you package a divergent version of
an existing module. If existing code relies on the bad behavior in some twisted
way, you could hurt people by just installing a new version that has changed
behavior.
You might want to consider:
1) an alternate version in your own namespace
or 2) putting the module somewhere different on the filesystem and
a "use lib" statement.

Linux is like a Vorlon. It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
