Thank you for reply!
I make a mistake in my problem description, because I'm going not only
use my own functions (it'll be simple import library question), but
also using side library many functions (with only a few one replaced
by me). For now I'm stay at the following solution:
----- mylib.py -----
import sidelib
from sidelib import *

_sidelib_set = set(dir(sidelib))
_mylib_set = set(['replacedfunc1', 'replacedfunc2', ....]) # all
exports
__all__ = list(_sidelib_set.union(_mylib_set))

....implementations of _mylib_set functions....
--------------------

Seems it's pretty good for my task, mylib seems fully the same as the
sidelib one.

Thanks for you attention, anyway!
