That depends on what you mean by work. This failes:

def monkeypatch(cls):
    orig = globals()[cls.__name__]
    print("Monkeypatch",id(cls),"into",id(orig))
    for attr in dir(cls):
        if not attr.startswith("_"):
            setattr(orig,attr,getattr(cls,attr))
    return orig

def main():
	class Foo:
		def method1(self):
			print("I am method 1")

	print("Foo is currently",id(Foo))
	some_object = Foo()

	@monkeypatch
	class Foo:
		def method2(self):
			print("I am method 2")

	print("Foo is now",id(Foo))

	some_object.method1()
	some_object.method2()

main()
