I found this in my IRC backlog. [Apr 11 02:34:44] <radhermit> mock got added to 3.3 [Apr 11 02:34:57] <radhermit> it needs a virtual and people should quit adding new impls to dev-python/mick [Apr 11 02:34:59] <radhermit> *mock [Apr 11 02:38:15] <radhermit> https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock.html [Apr 11 02:45:51] <radhermit> I guess I wouldn't really call it a builtin, more that unittest subsumed it >= 3.3 So, a couple of tasks: 1. Create an appropriate virtual. 2. Ensure that any packages which support python3.3+ import it as unittest.mock. Anyone is free to take the lead on this.
I will take care of this.
Are we still going to pursue this? It seems that people are adding appropriate conditional deps just fine so far, and the case is a bit complex with different namespaces.
It's been done, and now we're killing it ;-).
