I'm trying to write a unit test for a python class that has a method similar to this:

@staticmethod
def __some_method():
    doSomething...

The issue I'm facing is that the __some_method doesn't show up in the unit test file. Is there a way around this?

What do you mean by "doesn't show up"? – Samwise Sep 20 '21 at 19:36
'Private' methods (double underscored) have their names mangled. So the short answer is you're actually looking for `MyClass._MyClass__mymethod()`. – Nathaniel Ford Sep 20 '21 at 19:38
