New submission from Karthikeyan Singaravelan <tir.kar...@gmail.com>:

* In create_autospec there is some logic to detect if the function is an async 
function this could be refactored out as a private function.

* create_autospec has initialization code for async mock. For synchronous 
functions this is done with _setup_func and is called during setting signature. 
AsyncMock needs different setup logic code to setup the functions but the code 
can be refactored out of create_autospec into _setup_async_func.

* In create_autospec awaited attribute is not set for AsyncMock during setup 
[0] and hence this causes AttributeError when the coroutine is awaited. awaited 
attribute can be also initialized.

import asyncio
from unittest.mock import create_autospec

async def foo(): pass

spec = create_autospec(foo)
awaitable = spec()

async def main(): await awaitable

asyncio.run(main())

Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise AttributeError("Mock object has no attribute %r" % name)
AttributeError: Mock object has no attribute 'awaited'

* In the setup logic to create attributes like assert_not_awaited uses the 
pattern setattr(mock, a, f) at [1] . But due to late binding 'a' in the 
function f has the last value of the loop 'assert_not_awaited' and hence 
calling other helpers also calls assert_not_awaited. This could be resolved by 
using a partial function that binds the attribute value early in the loop and 
respective function would be used in getattr.

>>> spec.assert_awaited_once_with(1) # Due to late binding assert_not_awaited 
>>> is always called
TypeError: assert_not_awaited() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

* assert_not_awaited has the error message indicating it should be awaited once 
[2] . This can be changed to indicate something like "Expected mock to not have 
been awaited".

>>> spec.assert_not_awaited()
AssertionError: Expected mock to have been awaited once. Awaited 1 times.

* mock docs have list of magic methods implemented where __aenter__, __aexit__, 
__aiter__ and __anext__ could be documented with versionadded directive. [3]

I have a PR with the above changes that I will post shortly for review.
