# Mock The Python
|
|
|
|
### What is it?
|
|
|
|
A library that makes mocking in Python better by building on type of Python's built in `mock` library.
|
|
|
|
### How?
|
|
|
|
Currently, just by allowing members of modules which are being patched to be patched by using references to the actual members, instead of bare strings.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example:
|
|
|
|
```Python
|
|
from mock_the_python.mock_path import at
|
|
from unittest.mock import patch
|
|
|
|
import another_module.module_under_test
|
|
from another_module.module_under_test import bacon
|
|
|
|
patch(at(another_module.module_under_test).member(bacon), return_value="mmmm, bacon")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you can freely rename `bacon` to `sausage` without worrying about whether or not your refactoring tools will find string references, and your tests will still pass. Groovy.

More features will be added to this library |
