Karthikeyan Singaravelan <tir.kar...@gmail.com> added the comment: I am slightly concerned if spec should gain more responsibility than just validating attribute access which is mentioned in the docs. With the linked PR spec below would also validate the signature which is not done in Python 3.7 so this might break code for someone who only wants to validate access attribute access and not signature of the methods. It seems the PR also adds autospec argument to Mock that is currently not supported though spec and spec_set are supported.
