Example of get_captcha_key method reloading

I'm new to Python and do not quite understand how I have to reload this method in my code to handle captcha. It would be nice to see an example.

The get_captcha_key is a part of BaseAuthAPI sub-classes which are part of VKSession namely VKSession.AUTH_API_CLS class variable.

To override the method you need:

• Create your own AuthAPI class derived from BaseAuthAPI, implement your getting captcha logic there
• Override VKSession with a new AUTH_API_CLS value

class MyAuthAPI(BaseAuthAPI):
    def get_captcha_key(self):
        # do something

class MyVKSession(VKSession):
    AUTH_API_CLS = MyAuthAPI

# Copied from create_api method
session = MyVKSession(app_id, login, password, phone_number=phone_number,
                                       scope=scope, api_version=api_version)
api = API(session=session, timeout=timeout, **method_default_args)

Well, I see that it's a bit hassle to do it and adding auth_api_cls as an instance parameter would be reasonable. I will think about it
