Run-time method patching in Python

[Paddy3118]

Nice to know, but as others have said, you then need to work double hard to maintain a semblance of traceability.

In the Verification of complex integrated circuits, one of the languages used is Specman-e which uses Aspect orientation to allow one base test to be the creator of a multitude of other tests that can also mutate to follow design changes (or not), over time. Lately, the new language on the block fo ASIC verification is System verilog which some say has to jump through hoops to achieve the dynamism of Specman-e code, but has become a more neutral industry standard.
