Re: [Scons-dev] Unit testing with mock?

So, what should I replace my existing mocks with? Do you know any technique? These mocks would only be required for unit-testing scons package, so this doesn't affect plain users (only developers and scons package maintainers would be affected). And starting from 3.3, the mock module is part of
