As far as I know, one can only use normal Python code to monkey patch 
modules written in Python. Even then, one can only rebind names stored 
in writable dicts -- the module dict and class attribute dicts. The 
attributes of function code objects are readonly. Replacing a code 
object is not for the faint of heart.

io.py mostly loads _io compiled from C.
