Hi Antoine, I'm really sad to read your message. Antoine is one of the most active Python core developer and it would be a big loss if he really stops contributing. Antoine helped me to stop the drug called "micro optimization", he always has good advices on the Python development.
I tried to stay away the discussion on mock, but it's hard because it is flooding my mailbox. I had to use mox (moX, not moCK) and I don't like its API. I really like mock API, it's natural and obvious. When mock 1.1 was released, many people complained because "it broke OpenStack (CI)". A few days later i unerstood that raising an error for unkown methods with a name starting with "assert" is a good thing. It helped to fix a lot a bugs in OpenStack tests! For the discussion on "assret", I'm surprised how much people replied. The mock maintainer, Michael Foord, replied: it was an explicit request from users...
