[docs] Typos in documentation

[Adrian Tirla]

My bad, please excuse me. I've pasted the example and I was wondering why it doesn't fail :)  so I've thought it was a typo.

Good stuff. Sorry once again.

Regards,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the report, but I think the typos are intentional.

From https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/unittest.mock.html#autospeccing:

    Because mocks auto-create attributes on demand, and allow you to call them with arbitrary arguments, if you misspell one of these assert methods then your assertion is gone:

Then the following snippet proves that the paragraph above is correct:

    [...]
    mock.assret_called_once_with(4, 5, 6)

    Your tests can pass silently and incorrectly because of the typo.
