  Congratulation, you just rediscovered the MockObject.
 
 How do I rediscover something that I'm explicitly implementing?  I had
 set out specifically to mock an API, there was no rediscovery going
 on.
 
 That does allow me to discover via Google the Python Mock Module,
 though, which may well do what I want:
 
 from TestedModule import *
 
 my_win32file = Mock({
'CopyFile': 'CopyFile called'
}
 
 win32file = my_win32file
 
 ...perhaps.
 
 I'm just a bit loathe to download and install more stuff when
 something simpler appears to be near-at-hand.  ...especially
 considering the page describing this module doesn't offer any download
 links!  http://python-mock.sourceforge.net/
How about mini-mock:

Oh yeah, and the download link for python-mock is:

Heh, yeah I'm sure that's what I got when I went to sf.net and typed
in the project name, then submitted a bug for the homepage that it
doesn't offer any links to find the download.  ;)
