[issue21269] Provide args and kwargs attributes on mock call objects

[Karthikeyan Singaravelan]

Karthikeyan Singaravelan <tir.karthi at gmail.com> added the comment:

args and kwargs property can be introduced on the call object to return the args and kwargs stored in the tuple. Currently wrapping call object with tuple can get a tuple of args and kwargs but a property would be helpful. A first attempt patch on this. Feedback on the API would be helpful.

>>> from unittest.mock import Mock
>>> m = Mock()
>>> m(1, a=1)
<Mock name='mock()' id='4325199504'>
>>> m.call_args_list[0]
call(1, a=1)
>>> tuple(m.call_args_list[0]) # wrapping it with tuple can give args and kwargs currently
((1,), {'a': 1})
>>> m.call_args_list[0].args # With patch return args
(1,)
>>> m.call_args_list[0].kwargs # With patch return kwargs
{'a': 1}

A simple patch would be as below :
