Yes, for a code base that supports both Python 2 and Python 3, it is
important that ‘import mock’ will import the up-to-date ‘mock’.

‘testtools’ is a dependency for ‘testresources’ and ‘testscenarios’.
‘fixtures’ is a dependency for ‘testresources’.

This provides very useful features not yet found in ‘unittest’,
including the ability to define a set of data scenarios in a TestCase
class, and have the TestCase instances automatically multiplied at run
time, for each scenario.
