重新定义python模块的类/模型

Question

I want to use django-achievements ( link ) module in my app, but it lack some fields in it's model. For example, I want to add CharField to it with path to picture of the badge/achievement. Also I will need to modify module's engine.py file for that.

What is the right way to do that? Download that module to my main app' folder and modify original files, or i can somehow redefine some methods/classes of original models.py and engine.py locally without modifing original files?

Answer 1

I'd say fork it and make your own modifications directly to the source. If it's an improvement you can create a Pull Request and contribute your code to the actual repository (not required, you can always just keep it for your own use).
