[TIP] Does anyone *need* mock update from cPython in Python 2.6?

[Joseph Smith]

dstufft: naive question- but would you upgrade the version of mock you use? (especially considering python2.6 is (supposedly?) EOL <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2013-September/128287.html>)

FWIW getting these improvements into the standalone mock package would be awesome- thanks for picking it up Robert!
