Override Method without class?

Question

Hi All,

How to override method without class?

e.g

In *a.py* file have one method

def abc(self):
print "Called ABC()"

In *b.py *i want to override a.py file's *abc()* method.

=================================
I clear about.

1) I am not talking about Class method override.
2) And no any class use in a.py and b.py
3) It is possible to override abc() method without class ?

Thanks in advance,
Harsh Dhaduk

from a import abc

def new_method():

----

abc = new_method

OR

import a

def new_method():

----

a.abc = new_method

it's called monkey patching.  You can search the net for other examples, but here is one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19545982/monkey-patching-a-class-in-another-module-in-python

Hi Harsh,

To override a method you have to understand the object to which that method belongs.

If method abc() belongs to class object *'test'*

ie. in .py file it will be like:-

class test (osv.osv):

_name = 'test'

def abc():

return True

If you want to override that function you have to define a class to inherit that object and then define method with same name. Eg:-

IN *b.p*y file

class test(osv.osv):

*_inherit = 'test'*

def abc():

return True

Here we overrided the method *abc()
