Michael Foord added the comment: This illustrates the difference:
>>> from mock import Mock, create_autospec >>> some_list = [1, 2, 3] >>> m = Mock() >>> m.side_effect = some_list >>> m.side_effect <listiterator object at 0x1004ab7d0> >>> m2 = create_autospec(lambda: None) >>> m2.side_effect = some_list >>> m2.side_effect [1, 2, 3] When setting a side_effect on a function (created by create_autospec) the side_effect setter is not used - so turning the list into an iterator needs to be done on first use instead. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17826> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
