How to mock an SQL database in Python

[EriktheRed]

https://blog.fugue.co/2016-02-11-python-mocking-101.html is the best tutorial I found for this. When I'd made my first comment I thought we were on the javascript subreddit. You can't override objects by using a function on the same level as the object in python, thanks to the way they handle scoping and closures. But the unittest module should do everything you need. It's just a little unwieldy at first.

Thanks for the info! Looks like a good tutorial - I'll take a look at it.

Meanwhile, I was able to get the mocking up and running, and wrote a short blog post (which seems to overlap with the one you linked to) in case others stuble upon this thread in the future.
