Feature request: support dynamic binding configuration

[gshklover]

It seems that currently, one needs to provide configuration once at initialization. In some scenarios the complete set of bound classes might not be available at injector initialization (example: if injector is required while dynamically initializing other modules that require injector).

Please add a method to extend injector with more bindings dynamically.

Hi! Could you give examples when you need it?

All dependency injectors I know have a static configuration or modules, for example, Spring, Guice, Angular 2+, etc. Static modules 1) allow developers to reason about the application structure and interaction between components 2) are simpler to work with.

Let say we are building a plugin-based framework. The framework itself provides a set of interfaces, which plugins require. But then when a plugin is loaded, it might provide additional interfaces used by other plugins later on.

I see. Python-inject is built to be immutable. It dramatically simplifies its internals: no need to worry about concurrency, thread-safety and performance.

In my opinion, you should better create a custom system to manage plugins. Of course, you can always fork the repository and tweak it to your needs. It's less then 400 hundred lines of code.
