This allows to override things. Some examples: ```python $ cat target.py import sys print(sys.executable) $ python target.py /usr/bin/python $ cat patch.py from hijack import BinLaden patcher = BinLaden() patcher.override("sys.executable", "nope") patcher.run("target.py") $ python patch.py nope $ ``` This could be useful to add some functionality or act as a decorator: ```python $ cat target.py import requests try: r = requests.get("fsf.org") print(r.status_code, r.reason) except Exception as e: print(e) $ python target.py Invalid URL 'fsf.org': No schema supplied. Perhaps you meant http://fsf.org? $ cat patch.py from hijack import BinLaden patcher = BinLaden() old_get = patcher.import_("requests").get @patcher.override("requests.get") def get(url, *a, **kw): if not url.startswith("http"): url = "https://" + url return old_get(url, *a, **kw) patcher.run("target.py") $ python patch.py 200 OK $ ```
