How to Simulate Distributed Transactions in Python with a Mock
Model distributed transaction behavior with a mock Transaction class that supports commit, rollback, and failure simulation.
class Transaction:
def __init__(self, id):
self.id = id
self.operations = []
self.committed = False
def add_operation(self, op, data):
self.operations.append((op, data))
def commit(self):
if not self.operations:
raise ValueError("No operations to commit…How to mock batch commit of transactions in Python
Simulate a transaction batch writer with commit, rollback, and summary logic to test database write patterns without a real database.
import json
from datetime import datetime, timezone
class TransactionBatch:
def __init__(self):
self.pending = []
self.committed = []
self._log = []
def add(self, operation):
self.pending.append(operation)
def commit(self):
if not self.pending:
