It's not very hard at the moment, and I don't see lots of eyes flying
by. I don't know about Ruby where monkeypatching seems to be common
practice, though.
Imagine debugging a pile of code that includes a module with:
import random
def random.random():
return .42
No need to imagine. I can do the same, one line shorter:
>>> import random
>>> random.random = lambda: .42
