[TIP] 'Mock' object is not iterable

I'm trying to mock out a function which looks for orphaned pyc files in
the filesystem.
So I created something like this
def fmock_b():
ret = Mock()
ret.pesky_pyc.return_value = ['b.pyc']
return ret
and the function I'm testing does this:
for pyc in Walker(directory).pesky_pyc():
but I get the error TypeError: 'Mock' object is not iterable
But why?
Actually also the non mocked version of Walker doesn't return a an
iterable from __init__, it's
pesky_pyc that returns an iterable, so why does it complain?
Any hint about how to fix it?
Thanks,
Andrea
