Pytest monkeypatch isn't working on imported function

Suppose there are two packages in a project: some_package and another_package.

# some_package/foo.py:
def bar():
    print('hello')

# another_package/function.py
from some_package.foo import bar

def call_bar():
    # ... code ...
    bar()
    # ... code ...

I want to test another_package.function.call_bar mocking out some_package.foo.bar because it has some network I/O I want to avoid.

Here is a test:

# tests/test_bar.py
from another_package.function import call_bar

def test_bar(monkeypatch):
    monkeypatch.setattr('some_package.foo.bar', lambda: print('patched'))
    call_bar()
    assert True

To my surprise it outputs hello instead of mock. I tried to debug this thing putting ipdb breakpoint in the test. When I manually import some_package.foo.bar after breakpoint and call bar() I get patched.

On my real project the situation is even more interesting. If I invoke pytest in the project root my function isn't patched, but when I specify tests/test_bar.py as an argument - it works.

As far as I understand it has something to do with the from some_package.foo import bar statement. If it's being executed before monkeypatching is happening then it patching fails. But on the condensed test setup from the example above patching does not work in both cases.

And why does it work in IPDB REPL after hitting a breakpoint?
