[Scons-dev] Unit testing with mock?

[Paweł Tomulik]

So, what should I replace my existing mocks with? Do you know any technique?

These mocks would only be required for unit-testing scons package, so
this doesn't affect plain users (only developers and scons package
maintainers would be affected). And starting from 3.3, the mock module
is part of python standard.
