Hi Andrea,<div><br></div><div>Since you seem to have receive any response at all I'll pitch in my 5 cents;</div><div><br></div><div>First off, pep8 states that "private" functions should be prepended with an underscore. Using this style could make things like this much simpler - you would only have to worry about public functions. But maybe you already do this...</div>
<div><br></div><div>That said, depending on Python version you are targetting you could use importlib[1,2] to create your own module importer that wraps the real module using <a href="http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock/" target="_blank">Mock</a>, or similar.</div>

<br>
All projects have (hopefully) unit tests, but what I'm worried about now<br>
is that changing a function signature in *common* might make break<br>
something somewhere else.<br>
<br>
This is a common problem I guess, and I could use something like pylint<br>
maybe..<br>
<br>
But even better, if I'm able to<br>
- automatically mock every "common" import, using as a spec the real one<br>
- check that every function call has the right arguments<br>
<br>
it would be even better I think..<br>
Is that possible or is there another better way?<br>
