New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com>:
It is documented, that divmod() returns a pair. It is usually used with tuple
unpacking:
x, y = divmod(a, b)
But this doesn't work when one of arguments is a MagicMock.
>>> from unittest.mock import *
>>> x, y = divmod(MagicMock(), 2)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 0)
I expect that tuple unpacking will work with the result of
MagicMock.__divmod__(). There possible following options:
1. Return some constant value, e.g. (1, 0).
2. Return a pair of new MagicMock instances.
3. Define __divmod__ in terms of __floordiv__ and __mod__. This will
automatically return a pair of MagicMock instances by default, but setting
return values for __floordiv__ and __mod__ will affect the result of __divmod__.
What is more preferable?
