How to mock a exception class??

[wencan]

I need mock a exception class, and raise it.
my code:

class TestService(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_raise(self):
        class MyException(BaseException):
            pass
        
        mockedException = mock.create_autospec(spec=MyException, instance=True)
        self.assertIsInstance(mockedException, BaseException)
        raise mockedException

output:

TypeError: exceptions must derive from BaseException

This is not the right place to ask, please try the testing-in-python mailing list, and read the documentation for mock on python.org.
