I think I've seen mention of a MockConsumer class, but the kafka-python package I have available in my Conda setup doesn't seem to have anything like that. Is this a Java-only thing or is there a Python MockConsumer class I just haven't yet encountered in the wild? I see this:
http://www.jesse-anderson.com/2016/11/unit-testing-kafka-consumers/ but that appears to be Java-specific. Maybe it's not entirely necessary? Do people just unit test through a development broker setup using fake messages sent to test-specific topics? Thx, Skip Montanaro
