>Summary: Adds Mock Object support to unittest.TestCase
Initial Comment:
Mock objects can greatly improve unittests (If used in
the correct context), especially for code that relis upon
resource hungry test (connections to databases, socket
servers etc).
The module/patch (to unittest) which I am submitting
helps to introspect calls to code whilst maintaing
transparency and funcionality with your code.
I had previously written a similar module for my present
employers, and myself and fellow XP partners agree
that it has made the XP testing cycle consderably
easier. Having googol-ed-out alternatives on the web, I
have not found a solution that provides the same level of
flexibility. (hope that doesn't sound arrogant)
The tests for this module should highlight usage, but i
will supply dummy code if this idea is accepted.
