Can't agree with you more, Grig.

Martin, I used python-mock for the Cheesecake service project as well,
and although it needed some tweaks here and there it basically did the
job. If you're interested in details, here:
http://svn.idyll.org/repos/cheesecake_service/trunk/tests/test_store.py
are my python-mock helpers (returning, args_are, check_calls_count and
others) along with test examples.

Cheers,
mk
