mock with inheritance

[lidiriel]

Hello,

i would like use a mock object for testing one class and its methods:
Here my class :
class Foo(Component):
def __init__(self):
self._db = self.env.get_db ()

def foomethod(self, arg):
.....

But i don't know how to mock the class Component. Note that Component
provide the attribut env.
I use
Pyhton mock module (author Dave Kirby's ) or
mock (author Michael Foord (fuzzyman)) but if you have a generic
solution i will adapt it to my problem.

Thanks by advance and sorry for my poor english.

I prefer to use the MiniMock framework

You don't need to specify what interface the mock object has. Its Mock
objects will allow *any* attribute access, method or otherwise, and
simply report what was done. You can then check that report to see if
it matches what you expect; the author suggests that the existing
standard-library 'doctest' module is ideal for such checking.
