Research direction

The issue names the Python mocking libraries responses and requests-mock, but no files or tests are identified. Compare their maintenance status and project usage first; done would require a decided library choice and agreement on the dependency and test changes needed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

A lot of pending PRs open for years in the responses repo, requests-mock looks well maintained instead.
