  Description     : Utilities for spying on function calls in Python unit tests

  Spies intercept and record calls to functions. They can report on how many
  times a function was called and with what arguments. They can allow the
  function call to go through as normal, to block it, or to reroute it to
  another function.
  .
  Spies are like mocks, but better. You're not mocking the world. You're
  replacing very specific function logic, or listening to functions without
  altering them.
 
I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python team.
