### Multiple patches in setUp and tearDown

Source: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/library/unittest.mock.rst

Start multiple patches in setUp and stop them in tearDown. This avoids nesting decorators or context managers.

```python3
>>> class MyTest(unittest.TestCase):
...     def setUp(self):
...         self.patcher1 = patch('package.module.Class1')
...         self.patcher2 = patch('package.module.Class2')
...         self.MockClass1 = self.patcher1.start()
...         self.MockClass2 = self.patcher2.start()
...
...     def tearDown(self):
...         self.patcher1.stop()
...         self.patcher2.stop()
...
...     def test_something(self):
...         assert package.module.Class1 is self.MockClass1
...         assert package.module.Class2 is self.MockClass2
...
>>> MyTest('test_something').run()
```

### Build C extensions using Extension and ext_modules

Source: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/whatsnew/2.0.rst

Configure C extensions using `Extension` by specifying macro definitions, include directories, and source files. Pass the configured extension instances to `setup()` via `ext_modules` for automated compilation during install.

```python3
from distutils.core import setup, Extension

expat_extension = Extension('xml.parsers.pyexpat',
     define_macros = [('XML_NS', None)],
     include_dirs = [ 'extensions/expat/xmltok',
                      'extensions/expat/xmlparse' ],
     sources = [ 'extensions/pyexpat.c',
                 'extensions/expat/xmltok/xmltok.c',
                 'extensions/expat/xmltok/xmlrole.c', ]
       )
setup (name = "PyXML", version = "0.5.4",
       ext_modules =[ expat_extension ] )
```

--------------------------------

### Use setUp to factor out repetitive test setup

Source: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/library/unittest.rst

Implement setUp to run code before each test method. The framework calls setUp automatically for every test; if setUp raises an exception, the test is considered an error and the test method is not executed.

```python3
import unittest

class WidgetTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.widget = Widget('The widget')

    def test_default_widget_size(self):
        self.assertEqual(self.widget.size(), (50,50),
                         'incorrect default size')

    def test_widget_resize(self):
        self.widget.resize(100,150)
        self.assertEqual(self.widget.size(), (100,150),
                         'wrong size after resize')
```

```python3
>>> assert "Easy!"
      >>> import math
          >>> math.floor(1.9)
          1
```

### Complete example module with doctests for factorial()

Source: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/library/doctest.rst

A small module whose docstrings contain interactive examples for factorial(). Running it directly calls doctest.testmod() to verify all examples.

```python3
"""
This is the "example" module.

The example module supplies one function, factorial().  For example,

>>> factorial(5)
120
"""

def factorial(n):
    """Return the factorial of n, an exact integer >= 0.

    >>> [factorial(n) for n in range(6)]
    [1, 1, 2, 6, 24, 120]
    >>> factorial(30)
    265252859812191058636308480000000
    >>> factorial(-1)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
    ValueError: n must be >= 0

    Factorials of floats are OK, but the float must be an exact integer:
    >>> factorial(30.1)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
    ValueError: n must be exact integer
    >>> factorial(30.0)
    265252859812191058636308480000000

    It must also not be ridiculously large:
    >>> factorial(1e100)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
    OverflowError: n too large
    """

    import math
    if not n >= 0:
        raise ValueError("n must be >= 0")
    if math.floor(n) != n:
        raise ValueError("n must be exact integer")
    if n+1 == n:  # catch a value like 1e300
        raise OverflowError("n too large")
    result = 1
    factor = 2
    while factor <= n:
        result *= factor
        factor += 1
    return result

--------------------------------

### logging.config.listen(port=DEFAULT_LOGGING_CONFIG_PORT, verify=None)

Source: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/library/logging.config.rst

Starts up a socket server on the specified port to listen for new logging configurations. Returns a Thread instance on which you can call start() to start the server.

```APIDOC
### `logging.config.listen(port=DEFAULT_LOGGING_CONFIG_PORT, verify=None)`

Starts up a socket server on the specified port, and listens for new configurations.

#### Parameters
- **port** (int, *optional*) - The port on which to listen. Defaults to `DEFAULT_LOGGING_CONFIG_PORT`.
- **verify** (callable, *optional*) - A callable used to verify whether bytes received across the socket are valid and should be processed. Takes a single argument (the received bytes) and returns either the bytes to process or `None` to discard.

#### Returns
- **threading.Thread** - A thread instance on which `start()` can be called to begin listening, and `join()` to wait for termination.

#### Security Note
Because portions of the configuration are evaluated, binding without verification on multi-user systems may pose security risks. Use the `verify` parameter to validate or decrypt incoming configuration data.
```

--------------------------------

### ThreadingMock wait_until_called example

Source: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/library/unittest.mock.rst

### ThreadingMock wait_until_any_call_with example

Source: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/library/unittest.mock.rst

Shows how to use wait_until_any_call_with to wait until a ThreadingMock is called with specific arguments. The example starts a thread that calls the mock with arguments and waits for that call.

```pycon
>>> mock = ThreadingMock()
>>> thread = threading.Thread(target=mock, args=("arg1", "arg2",), kwargs={"arg": "thing"})
>>> thread.start()
>>> mock.wait_until_any_call_with("arg1", "arg2", arg="thing")
>>> thread.join()
```

--------------------------------

### Create ranges with list(range()) examples

Source: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/builtins/stdtypes.rst

Shows how start, stop, and step arguments determine the contents of a range. Empty ranges result when the start value does not satisfy the step constraint.

```python3
>>> list(range(10))
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
>>> list(range(1, 11))
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
>>> list(range(0, 30, 5))
[0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25]
>>> list(range(0, 10, 3))
[0, 3, 6, 9]
>>> list(range(0, -10, -1))
[0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9]
>>> list(range(0))
[]
>>> list(range(1, 0))
[]
```

### class site.StartupState(known_paths=None)

Source: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/library/site.rst

Accumulates interpreter startup configuration data from one or more site directories. It is the preferred interface for batching the processing of .pth and .start files across multiple directories.

```APIDOC
## site.StartupState(known_paths=None)

### Description
Accumulates interpreter startup configuration data from one or more site directories. Used for batching the processing of `.pth` and `.start` files across multiple site directories so that every `sys.path` extension is visible before any startup code runs.

### Constructor Parameters
- **known_paths** (set, optional) - A set of case-normalized paths used to prevent duplicate `sys.path` entries. Defaults to `None` (built from current `sys.path`).

### Methods
- **addsitedir(sitedir)**: Reads `.pth` and `.start` files in `sitedir` and records `sys.path` extensions, deprecated `.pth` import lines, and `.start` entry points.
- **addusersitepackages()**: Adds the per-user site-packages directory if enabled and existing.
- **addsitepackages(prefixes=None)**: Adds global site-packages directories computed from `prefixes` (or global `PREFIXES` if `None`).
- **process()**: Applies the accumulated state to `sys.path` and executes entry points and import lines. Must not be called more than once per instance.

### Usage Example
```python
state = site.StartupState()
for sitedir in site_dirs:
    state.addsitedir(sitedir)
state.process()
```

### os.startfile(path)

Source: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/library/os.rst

Starts a file with its associated application. This acts like double-clicking the file in Windows Explorer. The function returns as soon as the application is launched; there is no option to wait for the application to close or retrieve its exit status. Available on Windows.

```APIDOC
## os.startfile(path)

### Description
Start a file with its associated application. When *operation* is not specified, this acts like double-clicking the file in Windows Explorer. When another *operation* is given, it must be a “command verb” that specifies what should be done with the file. Common verbs are `'open'`, `'print'`, `'edit'`, `'explore'`, and `'find'`.

### Method
Function

### Parameters
- **path** (str) - Required - The file to start. Relative to the current directory or *cwd*. If you want to use an absolute path, make sure the first character is not a slash (`'/'`). Use `pathlib` or `os.path.normpath()` to ensure paths are properly encoded for Win32.
- **operation** (str) - Optional - A “command verb” that specifies what should be done with the file. Default is `None` (acts like double-click).
- **arguments** (str) - Optional - Arguments to be passed as a single string when launching an application. May have no effect when launching a document.
- **cwd** (str) - Optional - The working directory. Should be an absolute path. A relative *path* will be resolved against this argument.
- **show_cmd** (int) - Optional - Override the default window style. Values are integers as supported by the Win32 `ShellExecute()` function.

### Return Value
None. The function returns as soon as the associated application is launched.

### Raises
- **NotImplementedError** - If the Win32 `ShellExecute()` function cannot be resolved.

### Auditing Events
- `os.startfile` with arguments `path`, `operation`.
- `os.startfile/2` with arguments `path`, `operation`, `arguments`, `cwd`, `show_cmd`.

### Availability
Windows

### Version Changed
- Changed in version 3.10: Added the *arguments*, *cwd* and *show_cmd* arguments, and the `os.startfile/2` audit event.
```

### Deadlock example with Queue and join

Source: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/library/multiprocessing.rst

A process puts a large item on a queue, then the parent joins before getting the item, causing a deadlock. The fix is to swap the last two lines or remove p.join().

```python
from multiprocessing import Process, Queue

def f(q):
    q.put('X' * 1000000)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    queue = Queue()
    p = Process(target=f, args=(queue,))
    p.start()
    p.join()                    # this deadlocks
    obj = queue.get()
```
