Python MonkeyPatch: Debugging Python Applications + Production Hotfix
Abstract
Monkeypatching is a very powerful technique to dynamically modify program at the runtime. Even though it is very powerful, using it without proper method can leads to unintentional behavior. In this talk, I am going to talk about how it is possible to use monkeypatching functionality of Python to debug bug and other issues. Moreover, how can we effectively use it for making emergency hotfix into production systems.
