我通过将datetime导入为realdatetime并将我在模拟中需要的方法替换为实际方法来完成这项工作:

import datetime as realdatetime

@mock.patch('datetime')
def test_method(self, mock_datetime):
    mock_datetime.today = realdatetime.today
    mock_datetime.now.return_value = realdatetime.datetime(2019, 8, 23, 14, 34, 8, 0)

值得注意的是，Mock文档专门讨论了datetime.date.today，并且可以在不创建虚拟类的情况下做到这一点:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.mock-examples.html#partial-mocking

>>> from datetime import date
>>> with patch('mymodule.date') as mock_date:
...     mock_date.today.return_value = date(2010, 10, 8)
...     mock_date.side_effect = lambda *args, **kw: date(*args, **kw)
...
...     assert mymodule.date.today() == date(2010, 10, 8)
...     assert mymodule.date(2009, 6, 8) == date(2009, 6, 8)
...

对我来说最简单的方法是:

import datetime
from unittest.mock import Mock, patch

def test():
    datetime_mock = Mock(wraps=datetime.datetime)
    datetime_mock.now.return_value = datetime.datetime(1999, 1, 1)
    with patch('datetime.datetime', new=datetime_mock):
        assert datetime.datetime.now() == datetime.datetime(1999, 1, 1)

注意:target_module中的datetime模块中的所有功能都将停止工作。

可以在不添加side_effects的情况下模拟datetime模块中的函数

import mock
from datetime import datetime
from where_datetime_used import do

initial_date = datetime.strptime('2018-09-27', "%Y-%m-%d")
with mock.patch('where_datetime_used.datetime') as mocked_dt:
    mocked_dt.now.return_value = initial_date
    do()

对我来说，最好的方法是结合@Daniel G和@frx08的解决方案:

class Test_mock_date:
    class NewDate(datetime.datetime):
        @classmethod
        def now(cls, tz=None):
            return cls(2021, 5, 12)

    def test_mock_date(self):
        with patch('datetime.datetime', new = self.NewDate):
            assert datetime.datetime.now() == datetime.datetime(2021, 5, 12, 0, 0)

对于那些在测试类中使用补丁程序的人，下面是我如何成功地修补datetime功能:

from datetime import datetime
import unittest
from unittest.mock import Mock, patch

# Replace with the proper path to the module you would
# like datetime to be mocked
from path.to.my_module

class MyTestCases(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        """execute on class instantiation"""
        # Record both times at the same moment
        self.dt_now, self.dt_utcnow = datetime.now(), datetime.utcnow()

        # After retrieving real (or hardcoded datetime values), 
        # proceed to mock them in desired module
        self.patch_datetime_functions()


    def patch_datetime_functions(self) -> None:
        """
        Patch datetime.now() and datetime.utcnow() to prevent issues when
        comparing expected dates
        """

        # Create a patcher
        self.patcher_dt = patch(
            'path.to.my_module'
        )

        # Start but make sure cleanup always occurs
        self.patcher_dt.start()
        self.addCleanup(self.patcher_dt.stop)

        # Perform the actual patch – use lambdas as mock functions
        datetime_mock = Mock(wraps=datetime)
        datetime_mock.now.return_value = self.dt_now
        datetime_mock.utcnow.return_value = self.dt_utcnow

        my_module.datetime = datetime_mock


    # Here's what it will look like when testing:
    def some_test(self):
        curr_dt = self.dt_now
        returned_dt = my_module.datetime.utcnow()
        
        # Compare the dates
        self.assertEqual(curr_dt, returned_dt,
            'Datetime values should be equal'
        )
