Python monkey patching for humans.

Altered States tries to take the concept of “Python for Humans” (http://python-for-humans.heroku.com/) to the world of monkey patching.

0.8.6

• Better handling of objects that override __getitem__ (thanks to @merwok).

• Drop support for Python 2.5 (no sane way to solve issue #4 there).

0.8.5

• Added a new API entry point: alter(), that can be used to perform a two-step reversible alteration.

0.8.2

• Updated test suites to use @pytest.fixture notation for fixtures (now requires py.test > 2.3)

• Fixes a bug causing os.environ not to be patchable.

Fixing bug #2 means switching the dict -like object check from isinstance(x, dict) to hasattr(x, ‘__getitem__’). This change is thought to not break backwards compatibility but if you encounter unexpected behaviour in dict / object detection this might be it. I’d be very interested to know about that if you do.

0.8.1

• Alias Expando as E for optional terseness.

0.8.0

Initial release.
