chore: prefer unittest.mock from the standard library for Python >=3.8

I see your changes. So that means if we want to support python 3.7, then mock can't be used directly? In a sense, we'll still have the dependency on unittest. Is that right?

Hi. It s a partial dependency. Distrubtions that don't support py3.7 can drop mock. There s a special syntax for setup.py/requirements.txt to says this dependency only applies for Python version X, I don't use it actively but I can find examples in other projects Le ven. 24 mai 2024, 09:10, Shubham ***@***.***> a écrit :
