From b9e15bef829040510543433f68f08af65610a34e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Miss Islington (bot)" <31488909+miss-islington@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2024 00:00:50 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [3.12] Link to the glossary for "magic methods" in ``MagicMock`` (GH-111292) (#114002) Link to the glossary for "magic methods" in ``MagicMock`` (GH-111292) The MagicMock documentation mentions magic methods several times without actually pointing to the term in the glossary. This can be helpful for people to fully understand what those magic methods are.
