This module provides a class which extends unittest.TestCase which can be used to easily mock objects in a test case. This module can be used in conjunction with other test case classes by means of multiple inheritance http://docs.python.org/tutorial/classes.html#multiple-inheritance

An example of using Django's test case with this module's test case is simply as follows:

from minimocktest import MockTestCase
from django.test import TestCase
from django.test.client import Client

class DjangoTestCase(TestCase, MockTestCase):
    '''
    A TestCase class that combines minimocktest and django.test.TestCase
    '''

    def _pre_setup(self):
        TestCase._pre_setup(self)
        MockTestCase.setUp(self)
        # optional: shortcut client handle for quick testing
        self.client = Client()

    def _post_teardown(self):
        MockTestCase.tearDown(self)
        TestCase._post_teardown(self)

    def setUp(self):
        pass

    def tearDown(self):
        pass
