I haven't had a chance to look into this but it appears that 1.1.x has
broken some tests
(http://ci.sigmavir.us/job/flake8/119/TOXENV=py27/console). You'll
notice that's on Python 2.7. I've restricted flake8's version of mock
to < 1.1.0 and it works fine. Hopefully I'll have some time to look
into this today.

Cheers,
