Mock libraries

[JensRantil]

I noticed that http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/writing/tests/ does not mention anything about test doubles (mocks, stubs etc.). While I am not a frequent user of mock libraries I do find them useful in some cases. What do you think about adding documentation about this?

References:

• mock seems to be a common test doubles library.
• Here's a StackOverflow question about different Python test doubles libraries.

Looks like this was addressed in this commit:

Great! It might also be worth mentioning that Python 3 comes with a mock library in its standard library.

@JensRantil isn't that only Python 3.3 right now? (3.4 will have it, but Python 3.1 and 3.2 do not have it.)

@sigmavirus24 Good call. It's only in Python 3.3.
