It seems like its mostly used for patching in tests, e.g. def test(): SomeClass.do_network_call = lambda x: x < test actual logic >

  This will break other tests because there is no logic here for reverting SomeClass back to it's previous behaviour. Use the patch function as a decorator or as a context.

    Yes, this is an anti-pattern, not an example of a useful piece of code :)
