Context manager that returns a new :class:`MonkeyPatch` object which undoes any patching done inside the ``with`` block upon exit. Example: .. code-block:: python import functools def test_partial(monkeypatch): with monkeypatch.con

        Useful in situations where it is desired to undo some patches before the test ends,
        such as mocking ``stdlib`` functions that might break pytest itself if mocked (for examples
        of this see :issue:`3290`).
