Hello!

I am newbie mastering test driven development. I can't clarify myself
which mock library to use.
There are number of them and which one do you prefer?

Two libraries that attracted my attention are:
* minimock
* dingus
As for me the latest one, dingus, is the easiest (see this screencast:
http://vimeo.com/3949077   ), but it has very few downloads from pypi,
so it scares me a little.
Minimock has wider usage and community, but I have some troubles using
it. Maybe I am wrong, but with minimock you always have to keep track
the order of imports in your test modules. Well, may be I just don't
understand fully how minimock works.

What are your suggestions?
