I know what you're talking about, I realize that's how most people think of as monkey patching. That's what I thought at first. But when I tried structuring a python project with Dependency Injection it seemed overly complex. Instead of just making modules I had to put everything in a class. I had to write code to decide what things are being injected where. It didn't look like python anymore, so I stopped doing it, and I've never had problems, and I've written much less code. I only ever use monkey patching for testing. People talk about how it makes it easier to switch out other implementations, but in reality it's easier. You just import a different module.
