[New-bugs-announce] [issue35656] More matchers in unittest.mock

[Petter S]

New submission from Petter S <petter.strandmark at gmail.com>:

The ``ANY`` object in ``unittest.mock`` is also pretty useful when verifying dicts in tests:

    self.assertEqual(result, {
        "message": "Hi!",
        "code": 0,
        "id": mock.ANY
    })

Then it does not matter what the (presumably randomly generated) id is. For the same use cases, objects like ``APPROXIMATE`` (for approximate floating-point matching) and ``MATCHES`` (taking a boolean lambda) would be pretty useful, I think.
