Hi Herman.
I'm not a heavy Ruby user but I think FlexMock has a great API.  In
fact, the API of Ruby's Mocha is pretty much identical.  I thought
Mocha made for very readible and concise mocking code so I created
Fudge for Python http://farmdev.com/projects/fudge/

I was very hesitant to introduce yet another mocking library and
attempted to justify my efforts here:
http://farmdev.com/projects/fudge/why-fudge.html

However, I like that people are generous enough to release so many
mocking libraries to the Python community.
