Mocket is alive and is fighting with us

It’s been a while ago, when Andrea and I decided to write Mocket and present it at EuroPython 2013.

It was something we had in mind for a while, a lot of fun during the night before our talk, for sure one of the best hacks I’ve done in my career.

We also had some plans, and one of the new-come user, back to August 2013, had something similar in his mind when he tried to contribute to the project. We’ve never followed it up, and that was a shame.

Andrea started his new life as dad, and the same project in which we really believed for a while, suddenly was not fun anymore.

That said, Mocket was the module we were relying on when we had to mock HTTP in my previous company, so I kept maintaining it in terms of bug-fixing, together with another former and present colleague, Oscar.

In Q4/2015 I moved to Berlin. Mocket is still behind the scenes of our Python test suite here at Planet Germany, and the big news is that I am back at contributing to it. Because it’s fun and it worths the time spent on it.
