Mock Python's built in print function

Question

I\'ve tried

from mock import Mock
import __builtin__

__builtin__.print = Mock()

But that raises a syntax error. I\'ve also tried patching

Answer 1

from unittest.mock import patch


def greet():
    print("Hello World")


@patch('builtins.print')
def test_greet(mock_print):
    greet()
    mock_print.assert_called_with("Hello World!")
