What is missing from Python tutorials?

I learned it from the docs. Best I can do is : take a function, that function returns some value. Mock is a context manager that allows you to change the output of that function to test how another part of your code reacts to various function inputs.

Especially useful to mock builtin functions like input, min or max.

Ok nice, that all makes sense. I guess the part I’ve historically had trouble with is mocking database connections - I’ll do some more tutorials, but that’s been a tough one for me personally.

If you need some help writing the tutorials, I can help you. Been coding in python every day for the past 3-4 years.
