I am slightly concerned if spec should gain more responsibility than just 
validating attribute access which is mentioned in the docs. With the linked PR 
spec below would also validate the signature which is not done in Python 3.7 so 
this might break code for someone who only wants to validate access attribute 
access and not signature of the methods. It seems the PR also adds autospec 
argument to Mock that is currently not supported though spec and spec_set are 
supported.

from unittest import mock

def foo(lish):
    pass

mock_foo = mock.Mock(spec=foo)
mock_foo(1, 2)

try:
    mock_foo.non_existent
except AttributeError:
    print("raises AttributeError for non-existent attribute")

# 3.7

➜  cpython git:(pr_1982) python3.7 /tmp/foo.py
raises AttributeError for non-existent attribute

# With PR

➜  cpython git:(pr_1982) ./python.exe /tmp/foo.py
