Unittesting a function without a return statement

I'm struggling to unittest a function with no inputs or returns.

def my_function():
    a = input('a: ')
    b = input('b: ')
    print(a+b)

is there a way to write a unittest for this? thanks,

[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]

Modify standard out to point somewhere that's not too console. Then you can just capture the output.
