Why monkey patching on module object doesn't work ?

[Shiyao Ma]

Hi,

I am using Python2.

For the following snippet,

I'd suppose the dummy_func would be invoked, but seems not.

Indeed, heapq.heapify does invoke cmp_lt per here:
https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2.7/Lib/heapq.py#l136

So why this way of monkey patching failed?



Regards.
