Monkey patching isn't what your library is supposed to do, it's just a mechanic that it uses to get there. This would be like me making a scripting language and calling it "virtual machine". Then when people ask "why is a scripting language called virtual machine" I would say "it uses a virtual machine and the file is called virtualmachine.py".
