I'm a student thinking of participating in Google Summer of Code. And want to work to create a unittest for IDLE. Using unittest.mock seemed to be good way to test GUI. But there is a problem. There is no unittest.mock in Python2. http://docs.python.org/2/library/unittest.html I think using third party mock seemed to be ok, but not best way. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mock Because, IDLE is a part of official python. I think relying on third party module is not good. Of cource, I would forcus on non-GUI unittest. But GUI-test would be needed.
