It serves two roles: as a low-level framework for building custom protocol mocks (e.g., for new databases or protocols) and as a ready-to-use HTTP/HTTPS mock. The package includes a basic Redis mock and supports gevent, asyncio, and SSL out of the box.\n\nYou register mock entries with expected URLs, methods, and response bodies, then use a decorator or context manager to activate mocking for your test. Mocket also offers strict mode to fail tests that attempt real network access, and can verify that all registered mock entries were actually used. It depends on decorator, h11, puremagic, typing-extensions, and urllib3 at runtime.","worth_installing":"Yes. Mocket is mature (active maintenance, 312 GitHub stars, no known vulnerabilities), has low install friction, and solves a real testing problem\u2014isolating socket-based code from the network. Use it if you need to mock HTTP clients, test asyncio/gevent code, or build custom protocol mocks.
