I am afraid it will make it too easy to define functions in other

Imagine debugging a pile of code that includes a module with:
import random
def random.random():
return .42
No need to imagine. I can do the same, one line shorter:
>>> import random
>>> random.random = lambda: .42
I'm pointing out that that one is called lambda, so function.__name__
works out nicely. Similarly (and to my min more treacherously), the
def a.b(...):
...
doesn't give you a good clue about where to look for the definition.
That's all, not "monkeypatching is evil", but "monkeypatching should
stand out visually."
