+ :synopsis: Mock object and testing library.
+
+.. index:: introduction
+
+mock is a library for testing in Python. It allows you to replace parts of
+your system under test with mock objects and make assertions about how they
+have been used.
+
+mock is now part of the Python standard library, available as `unittest.mock
+<http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/unittest.mock.html#module-unittest.mock>`_
+in Python 3.3 onwards.
+
+mock provides a core :class:`Mock` class removing the need to create a host
+of stubs throughout your test suite. After performing an action, you can make
+assertions about which methods / attributes were used and arguments they were
+called with. You can also specify return values and set needed attributes in
+the normal way.
+
+Additionally, mock provides a :func:`patch` decorator that handles patching
+module and class level attributes within the scope of a test, along with
+:const:`sentinel` for creating unique objects. See the `quick guide`_ for
+some examples of how to use :class:`Mock`, :class:`MagicMock` and
+:func:`patch`.
+
+Mock is very easy to use and is designed for use with
+`unittest <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/unittest2>`_. Mock is based on
+the 'action -> assertion' pattern instead of `'record -> replay'` used by many
+mocking frameworks.
+
+mock is tested on Python versions 2.4-2.7, Python 3 plus the latest versions of
+Jython and PyPy.
+
+
+.. testsetup::
+
+ class ProductionClass(object):
+ def method(self, *args):

+
+
+Quick Guide
+===========
+
+:class:`Mock` and :class:`MagicMock` objects create all attributes and
+methods as you access them and store details of how they have been used. You
+can configure them, to specify return values or limit what attributes are
+available, and then make assertions about how they have been used:
+
+.. doctest::
+
+ >>> from mock import MagicMock
+ >>> thing = ProductionClass()
+ >>> thing.method = MagicMock(return_value=3)
+ >>> thing.method(3, 4, 5, key='value')
+ 3
+ >>> thing.method.assert_called_with(3, 4, 5, key='value')
+
+:attr:`side_effect` allows you to perform side effects, including raising an
+exception when a mock is called:
+
+.. doctest::
+
+ >>> mock = Mock(side_effect=KeyError('foo'))
+ >>> mock()
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ ...
+ KeyError: 'foo'
+
+ >>> values = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}
+ >>> def side_effect(arg):
+ ... return values[arg]
+ ...
+ >>> mock.side_effect = side_effect
+ >>> mock('a'), mock('b'), mock('c')
+ (1, 2, 3)
+ >>> mock.side_effect = [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
+ >>> mock(), mock(), mock()
+ (5, 4, 3)
+
+Mock has many other ways you can configure it and control its behaviour. For
+example the `spec` argument configures the mock to take its specification
+from another object. Attempting to access attributes or methods on the mock
+that don't exist on the spec will fail with an `AttributeError`.
+
+The :func:`patch` decorator / context manager makes it easy to mock classes or
+objects in a module under test. The object you specify will be replaced with a
+mock (or other object) during the test and restored when the test ends:
+
+.. doctest::
+
+ >>> from mock import patch
+ >>> @patch('module.ClassName2')
+ ... @patch('module.ClassName1')
+ ... def test(MockClass1, MockClass2):
+ ... module.ClassName1()
+ ... module.ClassName2()
+
+ ... assert MockClass1 is module.ClassName1
+ ... assert MockClass2 is module.ClassName2
+ ... assert MockClass1.called
+ ... assert MockClass2.called
+ ...
+ >>> test()
+
+.. note::
+
+ When you nest patch decorators the mocks are passed in to the decorated
+ function in the same order they applied (the normal *python* order that
+ decorators are applied). This means from the bottom up, so in the example
+ above the mock for `module.ClassName1` is passed in first.
+
+ With `patch` it matters that you patch objects in the namespace where they
+ are looked up. This is normally straightforward, but for a quick guide
+ read :ref:`where to patch <where-to-patch>`.
+
+As well as a decorator `patch` can be used as a context manager in a with
+statement:
+
+.. doctest::
+
+ >>> with patch.object(ProductionClass, 'method', return_value=None) as mock_method:
+ ... thing = ProductionClass()
+ ... thing.method(1, 2, 3)
+ ...
+ >>> mock_method.assert_called_once_with(1, 2, 3)
+
+
+There is also :func:`patch.dict` for setting values in a dictionary just
+during a scope and restoring the dictionary to its original state when the test
+ends:
+
+.. doctest::
+
+ >>> foo = {'key': 'value'}
+ >>> original = foo.copy()
+ >>> with patch.dict(foo, {'newkey': 'newvalue'}, clear=True):
+ ... assert foo == {'newkey': 'newvalue'}
+ ...
+ >>> assert foo == original
+
+Mock supports the mocking of Python :ref:`magic methods <magic-methods>`. The
+easiest way of using magic methods is with the :class:`MagicMock` class. It
+allows you to do things like:
+
+.. doctest::
+
+ >>> mock = MagicMock()
+ >>> mock.__str__.return_value = 'foobarbaz'
+ >>> str(mock)
+ 'foobarbaz'
+ >>> mock.__str__.assert_called_with()
+
+Mock allows you to assign functions (or other Mock instances) to magic methods
+and they will be called appropriately. The `MagicMock` class is just a Mock
+variant that has all of the magic methods pre-created for you (well, all the
+useful ones anyway).
+
+The following is an example of using magic methods with the ordinary Mock
+class:
+
+.. doctest::
+
+ >>> mock = Mock()
+ >>> mock.__str__ = Mock(return_value='wheeeeee')
+ >>> str(mock)
+ 'wheeeeee'
+
+For ensuring that the mock objects in your tests have the same api as the
+objects they are replacing, you can use :ref:`auto-speccing <auto-speccing>`.
+Auto-speccing can be done through the `autospec` argument to patch, or the
+:func:`create_autospec` function. Auto-speccing creates mock objects that
+have the same attributes and methods as the objects they are replacing, and
+any functions and methods (including constructors) have the same call
+signature as the real object.
+
+This ensures that your mocks will fail in the same way as your production
+code if they are used incorrectly:
+
+.. doctest::
+
+ >>> from mock import create_autospec
+ >>> def function(a, b, c):
+ ... pass
+ ...
+ >>> mock_function = create_autospec(function, return_value='fishy')
+ >>> mock_function(1, 2, 3)
+ 'fishy'
+ >>> mock_function.assert_called_once_with(1, 2, 3)
+ >>> mock_function('wrong arguments')
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ ...
+ TypeError: <lambda>() takes exactly 3 arguments (1 given)
+
+`create_autospec` can also be used on classes, where it copies the signature of
+the `__init__` method, and on callable objects where it copies the signature of
+the `__call__` method.

+
+Tests
+=====
+
+Mock uses `unittest2 <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/unittest2>`_ for its own
+test suite. In order to run it, use the `unit2` script that comes with
+`unittest2` module on a checkout of the source repository:
+
+ `unit2 discover`
+
+If you have `setuptools <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute>`_ as well as
+unittest2 you can run:
+
+ ``python setup.py test``
+
+On Python 3.2 you can use ``unittest`` module from the standard library.
+
+ ``python3.2 -m unittest discover``
+
+.. index:: Python 3
+
+On Python 3 the tests for unicode are skipped as they are not relevant. On
+Python 2.4 tests that use the with statements are skipped as the with statement
+is invalid syntax on Python 2.4.

+
+
+Terminology
+===========
+
+Terminology for objects used to replace other ones can be confusing. Terms
+like double, fake, mock, stub, and spy are all used with varying meanings.
+
+In `classic mock terminology
+<http://xunitpatterns.com/Mocks,%20Fakes,%20Stubs%20and%20Dummies.html>`_
+:class:`mock.Mock` is a `spy <http://xunitpatterns.com/Test%20Spy.html>`_ that
+allows for *post-mortem* examination. This is what I call the "action ->
+assertion" [#]_ pattern of testing.
+
+I'm not however a fan of this "statically typed mocking terminology"
+promulgated by `Martin Fowler
+<http://martinfowler.com/articles/mocksArentStubs.html>`_. It confuses usage
+patterns with implementation and prevents you from using natural terminology
+when discussing mocking.
+
+I much prefer duck typing, if an object used in your test suite looks like a
+mock object and quacks like a mock object then it's fine to call it a mock, no
+matter what the implementation looks like.
+
+This terminology is perhaps more useful in less capable languages where
+different usage patterns will *require* different implementations.
+`mock.Mock()` is capable of being used in most of the different roles
+described by Fowler, except (annoyingly / frustratingly / ironically) a Mock
+itself!
+
+How about a simpler definition: a "mock object" is an object used to replace a
+real one in a system under test.
+
+.. [#] This pattern is called "AAA" by some members of the testing community;
+ "Arrange - Act - Assert".
