What is the difference between mock.patch.object() and mock.patch()

I am trying to understand the difference between these two approaches of mocking a method. Could someone please help distinguish them? For this example, I use the passlib library. from passlib.context import CryptContext from unittest import mock with mock.patch.object(CryptContext, 'verify', return_value=True) as foo1: mycc = CryptContext(schemes='bcrypt_sha256') mypass = mycc.encrypt('test') ass

mockのpatch.object()とmock.patch()の違い。あまり考えなくても良さそう
