unittest in python: ignore an import from the code I want to test
- by vaidab
I have a python program that imports pythoncom (and uses pythoncom.CoCreateInstance from it). I want to create a unittest for the program logic without it importing pythoncom (so I can run the test on Linux as well).
What options are there? Can I do it without modifying the system under test?
What I found so far:
sys.modules["pythoncom"] = "test"
import module_that_imports_pythoncom
My problem with it is if I have:
from pythoncom.something import something
I'll get:
ImportError: No module named something.something
And sys.modules["something.something"] or sys.modules["pythoncom.something.something"] doesn't work.
Any ideas?
