This is the module I'm currently working on: https://github.com/ptomulik/scons-arguments
for the moment 'devel' branch is more recent: https://github.com/ptomulik/scons-arguments/tree/devel Mocks are used in unit tests: https://github.com/ptomulik/scons-arguments/blob/master/unit_tests/SConsArgumentsTests.py It's hard to tell what's the particular purpose of using mocks for a particular project. It's rather a choice of testing philosophy. Mocks always play same role: to isolate the behaviour of the object (or method) being tested on other objects (or methods). That way less tests get affected when a particular object changes its behaviour.
