Oh! If that's all you need, then yes, a simple patch of sys.modules
will work. You'll have to make sure you get your module imported
before anything else pulls up the vanilla one, though. Otherwise, your
only option is to keep the existing module object and monkeypatch it
with whatever changes you need.

But a simple "sys.modules['threading'] = QYZlib.threaders" will work.
Of course, how *well* this works depends also on how well that module
manages to masquerade as the threading module, but I'm sure you've
figured that part out :)
