StrongMock

StrongMock is a powerful mocking library for Python that leverages low-level ctypes functionality to provide extensive mocking capabilities. Some care may be needed while using this.

Functionality

This applies when the target of a strongmock.strongpatch is a function defined in python with a __code__ attribute. For other cases (methods in a class, classes, lbrary functions in c, etc.), the behaviour is the same as unittest.patch.
This will patch the __code__ attribute of the function to call the mock, meaning that references will also have the functionality of mock.
This can be extremely convenient in some cases.

Usage

instead of unittest.mock.patch use strongmock.strongpatch
