New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com>:
There are many tests for int-like objects (which implement custom __index__ or __int__ methods) in different files. There are less tests for float-like objects (with the __float__ method). There are even tests for complex-like (with the __complex__ method) in different files. To simplify maintaining old tests and adding new tests I propose to add general test classes with custom methods __index__, __int__, __float__ or __complex__ which return the specified value or raise an exception. There is already one similar general class: FakePath. It could be done using unittest.mock, but Mock objects are much more complex and has too much magic, so they can have different behavior than simpler classes with a single special method. ---------- components: Tests messages: 365422 nosy: mark.dickinson, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add test classes for custom __index__, __int__, __float__ and __complex__ type: enhancement versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40129> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
