Package lib :: Module mock

Module mock

Mock object library for Python. Mock objects can be used when unit testing to remove a dependency on another production class. They are typically used when the dependency would either pull in lots of other classes, or significantly slow down the execution of the test. They are also used to create exceptional conditions that cannot otherwise be easily triggered in the class under test.
