Okay I tried this, so now test_init starts:

with patch('DevBuild.super', create=True) as mock_super:
            mock_MakeDevBuild = MagicMock()
            mock_super.return_value.config.MakeDevBuild = mock_MakeDevBuild

This is certainly simpler, but it also produces the same error: "AttributeError: 'DevBuild' object has no attribute 'config'"
