It is specifically there to be overridden (and as an aside, it was a pain to support in the C port of warnings), so it really isn't monkey-patching. =) Should we coin a new word for this? Pretty-patching? When the module docs tell you it's OK, it's just overriding the function. If the docs don't tell you to do it, it's monkey patching :)

Monkey-patching is never inheritance-based: it means replacing a method / attribute of a module or class from a different module, after import time.
