$ pip install simple_mock

Install from source:

$ git clone https://github.com/satyavls/simple_mock.git
$ cd simple_mock
$ python setup.py install

Usage

# example - mocking single function to return some value or exception

import unittest
from simple_mock import SimpleMock

# import of function that needs to be patch in test case file
from add_module import add_num


class TestAddNum(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        # create simple mock object 
        self.simple_mock = SimpleMock()

    def tearDown(self):
        self.simple_mock.clear_all_patch()

    def test_add_num(self):
        """
        This is example where add_num function is patched to return the 45 value
        """
        # patch the add_num function to return 45 value
        patched_add_func = self.simple_mock.patch_func(func='add_num', exptd_ret_val=45)
        self.assertEqual(add_num(2, 2), 45)

    def test_add_num_exception(self):
        """
        This is exmaple where add_num function is patched to return exception
        """
        # Patch the add_num function to return ValueError 
        patched_add_func = self.simple_mock.patch_func(func='add_num', exptd_err=ValueError,
                                                       err_msg="exception raise in add_num")
        self.assertRaises(ValueError, add_num)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()
