I'm excited to see how far mock.patch has come, mainly as I'm hoping I can deprecate testfixtures.Replacer as a result ;-)<br>
<br>
The only think it looks like Mock can't currently do is remove attributes or dictionary items:<br>

<br>
Michael, would you be up for me adding that to Mock or is it a non-starter?<br>
<br>
I'd be happy to approach using either a delete=True option to patch() and patch.dict() (I don't really understand what patch.object does, so can't comment...) or, alternatively, a not_there or deleted marker object like I did in testfixtures.<br>
<br>
Lemme know your thoughts...<br>
