For those about to Mock I salute you!
summary
Covers concrete recipes: uses unittest and pytest for assertions and parametrized runs, shows replacing external dependencies with stubs (namedtuple), magic mocks and patching to assert calls, and using mock.side_effect to raise errors or iterate return values. Demonstrates mocking built-ins like open with BytesIO, testing requests by patching request.session, and recording/playback of real HTTP responses with betamax cassettes; also shows API workflow testing with gabbi.
