Mocktail

The non-alcoholic, Mockito-inspired utility for unittest.mock!

This package provides dead-simple utilities for setting return values for mocks with a Mockito-inspired syntax:

from unittest.mock import MagicMock
from mocktail import when

my_mock = MagicMock()
when(my_mock).some_method('foo').then_return('bar')

my_mock.some_method('foo')  # 'bar'

Unlike other solutions (like mockito-python), it deliberately only works with mocks created using unittest.mock. To set the return values of arbitrary objects, combine with unittest.mock.patch.

Installation

pip install mocktail

Buyer beware!

This package -- though very minimal -- is in early alpha stage. Use with your own risk!
