<p><a class="reference internal" href="mock.html#mock.Mock" title="mock.Mock"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Mock</span></tt></a> supports mocking <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ironpythoninaction.com/magic-methods.html">magic methods</a>. This allows mock
objects to replace containers or other objects that implement Python
protocols.</p>
<p>Because magic methods are looked up differently from normal methods <a class="footnote-reference" href="#id4" id="id2">[1]</a>, this
support has been specially implemented. This means that only specific magic
methods are supported. The supported list includes <em>almost</em> all of them. If
there are any missing that you need please let us know!</p>
<p>You mock magic methods by setting the method you are interested in to a function
or a mock instance. If you are using a function then it <em>must</em> take <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">self</span></tt> as
the first argument <a class="footnote-reference" href="#id5" id="id3">[2]</a>.</p>

<p>By default many of the protocol methods are required to return objects of a
specific type. These methods are preconfigured with a default return value, so
that they can be used without you having to do anything if you aren’t interested
in the return value. You can still <em>set</em> the return value manually if you want
to change the default.</p>

<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">__oct__</span></tt> : ‘1’</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">__hex__</span></tt> : ‘0x1’</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">__long__</span></tt> : long(1)</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">__index__</span></tt> : 1</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">__hash__</span></tt> : default hash for the mock</li>

<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">__unicode__</span></tt> : default unicode for the mock</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">__sizeof__</span></tt>: default sizeof for the mock</li>
</ul>
<p>For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">mock</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">MagicMock</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="nb">int</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">mock</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="go">1</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="nb">len</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">mock</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="go">0</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="nb">hex</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">mock</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="go">'0x1'</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="nb">list</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">mock</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="go">[]</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="nb">object</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="ow">in</span> <span class="n">mock</span>
<span class="go">False</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The two equality method, <cite>__eq__</cite> and <cite>__ne__</cite>, are special (changed in
0.7.2). They do the default equality comparison on identity, using a side
effect, unless you change their return value to return something else:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">MagicMock</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="o">==</span> <span class="mi">3</span>
<span class="go">False</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">MagicMock</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="o">!=</span> <span class="mi">3</span>
<span class="go">True</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">mock</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">MagicMock</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">mock</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">__eq__</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">return_value</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="bp">True</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">mock</span> <span class="o">==</span> <span class="mi">3</span>
<span class="go">True</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>In <cite>0.8</cite> the <cite>__iter__</cite> also gained special handling implemented with a
side effect. The return value of <cite>MagicMock.__iter__</cite> can be any iterable
object and isn’t required to be an iterator:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">mock</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">MagicMock</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">mock</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">__iter__</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">return_value</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="p">[</span><span class="s">'a'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">'b'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">'c'</span><span class="p">]</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="nb">list</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">mock</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="go">['a', 'b', 'c']</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="nb">list</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">mock</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="go">['a', 'b', 'c']</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If the return value <em>is</em> an iterator, then iterating over it once will consume
it and subsequent iterations will result in an empty list:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">mock</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">__iter__</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">return_value</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nb">iter</span><span class="p">([</span><span class="s">'a'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">'b'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">'c'</span><span class="p">])</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="nb">list</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">mock</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="go">['a', 'b', 'c']</span>
<span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="nb">list</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">mock</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="go">[]</span>
</pre></div>
