I concur with Raymond here. Since mock is also part of stdlib and this issue predates mock being merged to stdlib. I think adding it to unittest sort of expands the unittest API being just an alias to mock.patch. mock.patch is used in lot of places and has a good adoption as plain function, decorator and context manager. This would also mean explaining people why there is mock.patch and TestCase.patch in docs too. ---------- nosy: +xtreak _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue11664> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
