"""
safely patch object attributes, dicts and environment variables. 

Usage 
----------------

Use the `monkeypatch funcarg`_ to tweak your global test environment 
for running a particular test.  You can safely set/del an attribute, 
dictionary item or environment variable by respective methods
on the monkeypatch funcarg.  If you want e.g. to set an ENV1 variable 
and have os.path.expanduser return a particular directory, you can 
write it down like this:

.. sourcecode:: python 

    def test_mytest(monkeypatch):
        monkeypatch.setenv('ENV1', 'myval')
        monkeypatch.setattr(os.path, 'expanduser', lambda x: '/tmp/xyz')
        ... # your test code that uses those patched values implicitely

After the test function finished all modifications will be undone, 
because the ``monkeypatch.undo()`` method is registered as a finalizer. 

``monkeypatch.setattr/delattr/delitem/delenv()`` all 
by default raise an Exception if the target does not exist. 
Pass ``raising=False`` if you want to skip this check. 

prepending to PATH or other environment variables 
---------------------------------------------------------

To prepend a value to an already existing environment parameter:

.. sourcecode:: python 

    def test_mypath_finding(monkeypatch):
        monkeypatch.setenv('PATH', 'x/y', prepend=":")
        # in bash language: export PATH=x/y:$PATH 

calling "undo" finalization explicitely
-----------------------------------------

At the end of function execution py.test invokes
a teardown hook which undoes all monkeypatch changes. 
If you do not want to wait that long you can call 
finalization explicitely::

    monkeypatch.undo()  

This will undo previous changes.  This call consumes the
undo stack.  Calling it a second time has no effect unless
you  start monkeypatching after the undo call.
