Mox is a mock object framework for Python.

Mox is based on EasyMock, a Java mock object framework.

Mox will make mock objects for you, so you don't have to create your own! It mocks the public/protected interfaces of Python objects. You set up your mock objects expected behavior using a domain specific language (DSL), which makes it easy to use, understand, and refactor!
