How to Mock Service Call Timeouts in Python
Simulate service calls with configurable timeouts using Mock to patch sleep and randomness, covering success and timeout cases.
import time
from unittest.mock import Mock, patch
# Simulate a service call with configurable timeout
def call_service(service_name, timeout=5):
"""Mock a service call that may time out."""
start = time.time()
print(f"Calling {service_name}...")
# Simulate service latency (randomized for realism)…How to Simulate Geo Experiments in Python
