Adds to Melange a tags framework based on taggable-mixin. The taggable-mixin allowed only tag per Datastore model. This is extended framework allows any arbitrary number of tags per Datastore model. Also, now one can define different models for different Tag types which are all inherited from the base Tag model provided by taggable-mixin. The GHOPTask model makes use of 2 tags per model, one for difficulty and the other for task_type, both using the tags framework. Reviewed by: Paweł Sołyga

Mox is an open source mock object framework for Python, inspired by
the Java library EasyMock.

To install:

  $ python setup.py install

To run Mox's internal tests:

  $ python mox_test.py

Basic usage:

  import unittest
  import mox

  class PersonTest(mox.MoxTestBase):

    def testUsingMox(self):
      # Create a mock Person
      mock_person = self.mox.CreateMock(Person)

      test_person = ...
      test_primary_key = ...
      unknown_person = ...

      # Expect InsertPerson to be called with test_person; return
      # test_primary_key at that point
      mock_person.InsertPerson(test_person).AndReturn(test_primary_key)

      # Raise an exception when this is called
      mock_person.DeletePerson(unknown_person).AndRaise(UnknownPersonError())

      # Switch from record mode to replay mode
      self.mox.ReplayAll()

      # Run the test
      ret_pk = mock_person.InsertPerson(test_person)
      self.assertEquals(test_primary_key, ret_pk)
      self.assertRaises(UnknownPersonError, mock_person, unknown_person)
