Unit testing with assertive mocks vs not testing implementation: Why not both?

Often I will have a function that contains another function call, and want to write a unit test for it.

"""my_module"""

def function_under_test(arg):
    # do stuff
    var = called_function(arg2)
    # do stuff
    return something

Dropping local test runtime and scope with pytest

I love pytest.

I have a project that I use as something of a learning platform (and that I don't want to break because it's at least occasionally used in production by my wife..). Most recently I've used it to learn how to abstract a database layer, implement a SQLite database, and now I'm similarly implementing SQLAlchemy.
