The requests library has the concept of pluggable transport adapters.
|
|
These adapters allow you to register your own handlers for different
|
|
URIs or protocols.
|
|
|
|
The requests-mock library at its core is simply a transport adapter that
|
|
can be preloaded with responses that are returned if certain URIs are
|
|
requested. This is particularly useful in unit tests where you want to
|
|
return known responses from HTTP requests without making actual calls.
|
|
|
|
As the requests library has very limited options for how to load and use
|
|
adapters requests-mock also provides a number of ways to make sure the
|
|
mock adapter is used. These are only loading mechanisms, they do not
|
|
contain any logic and can be used as a reference to load the adapter in
|
|
whatever ways works best for your project.
