Answer by k.parnell for Python Mock object with method called multiple times

Try side_effect

def my_side_effect(*args, **kwargs):
    if args[0] == 42:
        return "Called with 42"
    elif args[0] == 43:
        return "Called with 43"
    elif kwarg['foo'] == 7:
        return "Foo is seven"

mockobj.mockmethod.side_effect = my_side_effect
