+Title: Including mock in the Standard Library
+Version: $Revision$
+Last-Modified: $Date$
+Author: Michael Foord <michael@python.org>
+Status: Draft
+Type: Standards Track
+Content-Type: text/plain

+Abstract
+
+    This PEP proposes adding the mock [1]_  testing library
+    to the Python standard library as ``unittest.mock``.
+
+
+Rationale
+
+    Creating mock objects for testing is a common need in Python.
+    Many developers create ad-hoc mocks, as needed, in their test
+    suites. This is currently what we do in the Python test suite,
+    where a standardised mock object library would be helpful.
+    
+    There are many mock object libraries available for Python [2]_.
+    Of these, mock is overwhelmingly the most popular, with as many
+    downloads on PyPI as the other mocking libraries combined.
+    
+    An advantage of mock is that it is a mocking library and not a
+    framework. It provides a configurable and flexible mock object,
+    without being opinionated about how you write your tests. The
+    mock api is now well battle-tested and stable.
+    
+    mock also handles safely monkeypatching and unmonkeypatching
+    objects during the scope of a test. This is hard to do safely
+    and many developers / projects mimic this functionality
+    (often incorrectly). A standardised way to do this, handling
+    the complexity of patching in the presence of the descriptor
+    protocol (etc) is useful. People are asking for a "patch" [3]_
+    feature to unittest. Doing this via mock.patch is preferable
+    to re-implementing part of this functionality in unittest.
+
+
+Background
+    Addition of mock to the Python standard library was discussed
+    and agreed to at the Python Language Summit 2012.
