pook.pending()[source]¶

Returns the numbers of pending mocks to be matched.

Returns: number of pending mocks to match.
Return type: int

pook.pending_mocks()[source]¶

Returns pending mocks to be matched.

Returns: pending mock instances.
Return type: list

pook.post(url, **kw)[source]¶

Registers a new mock HTTP request with POST method.

Parameters

url (str) – request URL to mock.
activate (bool) – force mock engine activation. Defaults to False.
**kw (mixed) – variadic arguments to pook.Mock constructor.

Returns

mock instance

Return type

pook.Mock

pook.put(url, **kw)[source]¶

Registers a new mock HTTP request with PUT method.

Parameters

url (str) – request URL to mock.
activate (bool) – force mock engine activation. Defaults to False.
**kw (mixed) – variadic arguments to pook.Mock constructor.

Returns

mock instance

Return type

pook.Mock

pook.regex(expression, flags=RegexFlag.IGNORECASE)[source]¶

Convenient shortcut to re.compile() for fast, easy to use regular expression compilation without an extra import statement.

Parameters

expression (str) – regular expression value.
flags (int) – optional regular expression flags. Defaults to re.IGNORECASE

Returns

string based regular expression.

Return type

expression (str)

Raises

Exception – in case of regular expression compilation error

Example:

(pook
    .get('api.com/foo')
    .header('Content-Type', pook.regex('[a-z]{1,4}')))

pook.reset()[source]¶

Resets current mock engine state, flushing all the registered mocks.

This action will not disable the mock engine.

pook.set_mock_engine(engine)[source]¶

Sets a custom mock engine, replacing the built-in one.

This is particularly useful if you want to replace the built-in HTTP traffic mock interceptor engine with your custom one.

For mock engine implementation details, see pook.MockEngine.

Parameters: engine (pook.MockEngine) – custom mock engine to use.

pook.unmatched()[source]¶

Returns the total number of unmatched requests intercepted by pook.

Unmatched requests will be registered only if networking mode has been enabled.

Returns: total number of unmatched requests.
Return type: int

pook.unmatched_requests()[source]¶

Returns a tuple of unmatched requests.

Unmatched requests will be registered only if networking mode has been enabled.

Returns: unmatched intercepted requests.
Return type: list

pook.use(network=False)[source]¶

Creates a new isolated mock engine to be used via context manager.

Example:

with pook.use() as engine:
    pook.mock('server.com/foo').reply(404)

    res = requests.get('server.com/foo')
    assert res.status_code == 404

pook.use_network()[source]¶

Creates a new mock engine to be used as context manager

Example:

with pook.use_network() as engine:
    pook.mock('server.com/foo').reply(404)

    res = requests.get('server.com/foo')
    assert res.status_code == 404

pook.use_network_filter(*fn)[source]¶

Adds network filters to determine if certain outgoing unmatched HTTP traffic can stablish real network connections.

Parameters: *fn (function) – variadic function filter arguments to be used.

Interceptors API¶

class pook.interceptors.AIOHTTPInterceptor(engine)[source]¶

Bases: pook.interceptors.base.BaseInterceptor

aiohttp HTTP client traffic interceptor.

activate()[source]¶: Activates the traffic interceptor. This method must be implemented by any interceptor.

disable()[source]¶: Disables the traffic interceptor. This method must be implemented by any interceptor.

class pook.interceptors.BaseInterceptor(engine)[source]¶

Bases: object

BaseInterceptor provides a base class for HTTP traffic interceptors implementations.

abstract activate()[source]¶: Activates the traffic interceptor. This method must be implemented by any interceptor.

abstract disable()[source]¶: Disables the traffic interceptor. This method must be implemented by any interceptor.

property name¶: Exposes the interceptor class name.

class pook.interceptors.HTTPClientInterceptor(engine)[source]¶

Bases: pook.interceptors.base.BaseInterceptor

urllib / http.client HTTP traffic interceptor.

activate()[source]¶: Activates the traffic interceptor. This method must be implemented by any interceptor.

class pook.interceptors.Urllib3Interceptor(engine)[source]¶

Bases: pook.interceptors.base.BaseInterceptor

Urllib3 HTTP traffic interceptor.

activate()[source]¶: Activates the traffic interceptor. This method must be implemented by any interceptor.

disable()[source]¶: Disables the traffic interceptor. This method must be implemented by any interceptor.

pook.interceptors.add(*custom_interceptors)[source]¶

Registers a new HTTP client interceptor.

Parameters: *custom_interceptors (interceptor) – interceptor(s) to be added.
