Pawel, If the plan was to migrate SCons to 3.x and drop support for 2.7, then maybe using mocks would be ok now. But the plan is to support both for some time once we get SCons working with 3.x.
What are you using mocks for now? Can you point to a repo? Note that thus far, the mocks module has not been used, so chances are it can be done without additional modules (though perhaps with more code). -Bill On Fri, Oct 23, 2015 at 1:56 AM, Paweł Tomulik <ptomu...@meil.pw.edu.pl> wrote: > So, what should I replace my existing mocks with?
