Why not just use testfixtures [1] and Mock [2] to replace the SMTP class
in your testcase?
from mock import Mock
from testfixtures import replace
@replace('smtplib.SMTP',Mock())
def test_mystuff(self):
...
That way you can check the right smtp calls are made, if you want to,
and there's no chance of mail being sent?
If you're doing a lot of tests, you might want to do:
from mock import Mock
from testfixtures import Replacer
class MyTests(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.r = Replacer
self.r.replace('smtplib.SMTP',Mock())
def tearDown(self):
self.r.restore()
This latter technique would probably work in a Layer too...
cheers,
