[Scons-dev] Unit testing with mock?

[Alexandre Feblot]

Hi,
Please, please, please, 
Don't!
Don't force people to install additional modules. 
One of Python benefits is how rich its standard distribution is, compared to perl for example, allowing to distribute code that you know will work everywhere without additional requirement. 
Please don't break that.
