[Idle-dev] Missing unittest.mock in Python2 world be problem in making unitest for IDLE.

[Todd V Rovito]

Tomoki,
     This summer we are making great progress on unit tests.  For a good example I would look at the unit tests for format paragraph from the latest repository.  You can still "mock" an object with out the mock module.  For next year's GSoC we will evaluate current progress and see what we have left but at this point nobody has decided to do another effort for unit tests in IDLE.
