-mock implements a Mocking and Testing Library in Python
+mock (unit test library for Python 2)
-mock is a Python module that provides a core Mock class. It removes
-the need to create a host of stubs throughout your test suite.
-The mock module also provides a patch() decorator that handles
-patching module and class level attributes within the scope of a
-test, along with sentinel for creating unique objects.
-mock is tested on Python versions 2.4-2.7 and Python 3.
+mock is a library for testing in Python 2. It allows you to replace parts of
+your system under test with mock objects, and to make assertions about how they
+have been used.
-This is required by tahoe-lafs
+IMPORTANT: For Python3 you do not need this module. Please use the standard
+library instead (unittest.mock). This package contains a rolling backport of
+the standard library compatible with Python 2.7.
