New submission from Michael Foord: When patching builtin names (e.g. open) in a specific namespace you need to specify "create=True" or patch will refuse to create a name that doesn't exist.
patch could whitelist the builtin names, when the patch target is a module object, to not require the "create=True". ---------- assignee: michael.foord components: Library (Lib) keywords: easy messages: 186290 nosy: michael.foord priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: mock.patch could whitelist builtins to not need create=True type: behavior versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17660> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
