It handles async method calls, side effects, and return values, allowing developers to mock coroutines and async functions in unit tests.\n\nThe package was designed as a backport for Python versions before 3.8, when awaitable mocks were not yet part of the standard library. It is now superseded by built-in functionality\u2014the description notes that Mock 4.0+ (included within Python 3.8+) now includes an awaitable mock mock.AsyncMock, which is recommended for new projects. The package is no longer maintained\u2014its repository is archived and the last release was in 2020-03-15.","worth_installing":"No, not for new projects. The description explicitly notes that Mock 4.0+ (included within Python 3.8+) now includes mock.AsyncMock and recommends it for new projects.
