How to modify __init__ of built-in module directly from the script?

[sonicblind]

Hi,

I am using a f5-common-python library which I installed with pip.

There is a 'asm' directory which has this content:

Output:
~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/f5/bigip/tm/asm$
	attack_types.py
	file_transfer.py
	__init__.py
	policies
	policy_templates.py
	__pycache__
	signature_sets.py
	signatures.py
	signature_statuses.py
	signature_systems.py
	signature_update.py
	tasks.py

The __init__.py looks like this:

from f5.bigip.resource import OrganizingCollection
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.attack_types import Attack_Types_s
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.file_transfer import File_Transfer
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.policies import Policies_s
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.policy_templates import Policy_Templates_s
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.signature_sets import Signature_Sets_s
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.signature_statuses import Signature_Statuses_s
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.signature_systems import Signature_Systems_s
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.signature_update import Signature_Update
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.signatures import Signatures_s
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.tasks import Tasks

class Asm(OrganizingCollection):
    def __init__(self, tm):
        super(Asm, self).__init__(tm)
        self._meta_data['allowed_lazy_attributes'] = [
            Attack_Types_s,
            File_Transfer,
            Policies_s,
            Policy_Templates_s,
            Signature_Sets_s,
            Signature_Statuses_s,
            Signature_Systems_s,
            Signature_Update,
            Signatures_s,
            Tasks,
        ]

I want to add functionality to this library by adding a new file called violations.py into the 'asm' directory.
To be able to work with violations, I need to update the __init__.py by importing Violations_s and adding Violations_s to self._meta_data['allowed_lazy_attributes'], so the __init__.py then looks like this:

from f5.bigip.resource import OrganizingCollection
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.attack_types import Attack_Types_s
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.file_transfer import File_Transfer
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.policies import Policies_s
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.policy_templates import Policy_Templates_s
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.signature_sets import Signature_Sets_s
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.signature_statuses import Signature_Statuses_s
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.signature_systems import Signature_Systems_s
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.signature_update import Signature_Update
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.signatures import Signatures_s
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.tasks import Tasks
from f5.bigip.tm.asm.violations import Violations_s

class Asm(OrganizingCollection):
    def __init__(self, tm):
        super(Asm, self).__init__(tm)
        self._meta_data['allowed_lazy_attributes'] = [
            Attack_Types_s,
            File_Transfer,
            Policies_s,
            Policy_Templates_s,
            Signature_Sets_s,
            Signature_Statuses_s,
            Signature_Systems_s,
            Signature_Update,
            Signatures_s,
            Tasks,
			Violations_s,
        ]

Is it somehow possible in python to make these changes directly in my own script, so that I don't need to touch and change the default distribution files under ~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ ?

Can I write the Violations_s definition in my own script and then also update self._meta_data['allowed_lazy_attributes'] in the __init__.py file directly from my script?

Thanks.
