NP :).

Its at https://github.com/testing-cabal/mock btw - i've pushed up the
3.4 fix, next push will be all the backports, then doc fixes, then a
release.

@Donald, @Ian : the question isn't 'will there be a mock available for
2.6', its 'do you need a mock that *changes* for 2.6' ?

E.g. you could just use markers to split out mock like so:
mock<1.1 ; python_version=='2.6'
mock ; python_version!='2.6'

I think I'm going to go forward with raising the minimum *tested*
version for 1.1 and above to 2.7: I won't deliberate break compat, but
I'm going to not know if I break compat either. I will document
clearly that this is the case.
