New submission from Terry J. Reedy: When writing tests for config and configdialog, I blocked the user configs from hitting the filesystem by passing '' as the file name. This disables the Save function. To know that Save is called, a mock is needed. To know what would have been written to disk, the mock could write to a StringIO. Since there are 4 files and 4 config parsers, there are 4 save functions. I would mock each separately so it can be determined that the right one was called. I plan to create a specialized version of idle_mock.Func with a simplified version of Save's body in the __call__ method.
