Fakeable is a Python library that allows seamlessly replacing “real” objects with “fake” objects during unit testing. “Faking out” objects is a generally-accepted practice in unit testing to make it easy to traverse every code path of a method or function without having to set up a real environment to make that happen. Fakeable works at the class level and any class that wants to be fakeable during unit tests need only add a single line to its class definition to make this dream a reality.
Fakeable is supported in Python 2.7 and Python 3.3, and also has been confirmed to work in PyPy 2.1, PyPy3 2.1-beta1, and Jython 2.7-b1.
