Help with a mock unit test, how to test class attributes value after method under test runs?

Hi, I’ve inherited the code below. I need to write a mock test for method: __regenRToken

This is my test code so far. When I run it says that the method is called. But I cannot quite figure out how to test for the new value assigned to:

self.__clsConfig.Config['r_token']
self.R_TOKEN

in the method call in the test function.

I am a noob at mocking so I may have misconfigured the test in test.py, So I’m asking for some help here. Thanks!

class TestTokens(unittest.TestCase):

def setUp(self):
    resp = '{"r_token": "XYZ"}'
    js = json.loads(resp)
    jo = json.dumps(js)

    self.MockConfgClass = mock.patch('configuration.Configuration', auto_spec=True).start()
    self.t = tokens(self.MockConfgClass)

    self.t._tokens__jloads = mock.Mock(return_value=js)
    self.t._tokens__bldApiHdr = mock.Mock(return_value='{"token":"XYZ"}')
    self.t._tokens__post = mock.Mock(return_value=resp)        
    self.t._tokens__jdumps = mock.Mock(return_value=jo)   
    self.t._tokens__regenRToken = mock.Mock()    
           
    self.addCleanup(mock.patch.stopall)
