A collection of Python fixtures_ to fake out various system resources (processes, users, groups, etc.).

.. _fixtures: https://github.com/testing-cabal/fixtures

Each fake resource typically behaves as an "overlay" on the real resource, in that it can be programmed with fake behavior for a set of inputs, but falls back to the real behavior for the rest.

.. code:: python

import pwd

from systemfixtures import FakeUsers

users = FakeUsers() users.setUp()

pwd.getpwnam("foo") Traceback (most recent call last): ... KeyError: 'getpwnam(): name not found: foo'

users.add("foo", 123) info = pwd.getpwnam("foo") info.pw_uid 123 users.cleanUp()
