 You can use this with any programming language, as you can run the

 objects, methods, properties, and signals) all happen via D-Bus methods
 on the `org.freedesktop.DBus.Mock` interface. You just don't have the
 convenience D-Bus launch API that way.

+
+Let's walk through:
+
+- We import the `session_mock` fixture from dbusmock which provides us
+  with a session bus started for our test case wherever the `session_mock`
+  argument is used by a test case and/or a pytest fixture.
+
+- The `upower_mock` fixture spawns the mock D-Bus server process for an initial
+  `/org/freedesktop/UPower` object with an `org.freedesktop.UPower`
+  D-Bus interface on the system bus. We capture its stdout to be
+  able to verify that methods were called.
+
+  We then call `org.freedesktop.DBus.Mock.AddMethod()` to add a
+  `Suspend()` method to our new object to the default D-Bus
+  interface. This will not do anything (except log its call to
+  stdout). It takes no input arguments, returns nothing, and does
+  not run any custom code.
+
+  This mock server process is yielded to the test function that uses
+  the `upower_mock` fixture - once the test is complete the process is
+  terminated again.
+
+- `test_suspend_on_idle()` is the actual test case. It needs to run
+  your program in a way that should trigger one suspend call. Your
+  program will try to call `Suspend()`, but as that's now being
+  served by our mock instead of upower, there will not be any actual
+  machine suspend. Our mock process will log the method call
+  together with a time stamp; you can use the latter for doing
+  timing related tests, but we just ignore it here.
+
 ## Simple example from shell
 
 We use the actual session bus for this example. You can use
