bpo-43478: Mocks can no longer be provided as the specs for other Mocks. As a result, an already-mocked object cannot be passed to mock.Mock(). This can uncover bugs in tests since these Mock-derived Mocks will always pass certain tests (e.g. isinstance) and builtin assert functions (e.g. assert_called_once_with) will unconditionally pass.

For all our attempts to build python-rpmautospec with Python 3.11, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.11/package/python-rpmautospec/

Testing and mass rebuild of packages is happening in copr. You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.11:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.11/

Let us know here if you have any questions.

Python 3.11 is planned to be included in Fedora 37. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with all pre-releases of Python 3.11.
A build failure prevents us from testing all dependent packages (transitive [Build]Requires), so if this package is required a lot, it's important for us to get it fixed soon.
We'd appreciate help from the people who know this package best, but if you don't want to work on this now, let us know so we can try to work around it on our side.

Replacing:

    pkg_converter = unittest.mock.Mock(spec=convert.PkgConverter)()

...with:

     pkg_converter = convert.PkgConverter()

...does the trick. convert.PkgConverter is already a mock.

Yeah, but that just seems to hide issues. I didn't write the test myself and I'm still figuring out how it's supposed to work but it looks pretty much as if things should be run through the real `PkgConverter` object and the mock just exists to be able to inspect what was called and such.

Hmm, I guess I was wrong with my assumption, but there's still a way to make this nicer.
