Although it doesn't compare with mock [1] or MiniMock [2], which are two 
of the most widely used Python mocking libraries. I think the compared 
examples are taken from Mox which doesn't compare against these either.

I added some comparisons (don't think they're complete) with mock as a 
comment at the end of the pymox comparison page [3].

All the best,

Michael
