[Docs-bugs] [issue47209] Documentation for asserting values of `unittest.mock.Mock.call_args_list`

3 Apr 2022

      New submission from himkt <himkt@klis.tsukuba.ac.jp>:

Currently documentation says we can check call_args_list by providing a list of tuples of arguments.

```
...
...
...
expected = [(), ((3, 4),), ({'key': 'fish', 'next': 'w00t!'},)]
mock.call_args_list == expected
True

(from https://docs.python.org/3.11/library/unittest.mock.html#unittest.mock.Mock.call_args_list)

However, I think we have to wrap all arguments with `call`.
I'd happy to send a patch if it should be fixed.

### Reproduce:

import time
from unittest.mock import call
from unittest.mock import patch

with patch("time.sleep") as mock_obj:
    time.sleep(1)
    time.sleep(2)

    print("mock_obj.call_args_list")
    print(mock_obj.call_args_list)

    print("mock_obj.call_args_list == [(1,), (2,)]")
    print(mock_obj.call_args_list == [(1,), (2,)])
    print("mock_obj.call_args_list == [call(1,), call(2,)]")
    print(mock_obj.call_args_list == [call(1,), call(2,)])
```

```
...
python demo.py                                                                                                                                                             2022-04-04 12:03:18
mock_obj.call_args_list
[call(1), call(2)]
mock_obj.call_args_list == [(1,), (2,)]
False
mock_obj.call_args_list == [call(1,), call(2,)]
True
