ANN: mock 0.7.0 release candidate 1

There is a new release of mock: mock 0.7.0 rc1
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mock
This is intended to be the last release of mock before 0.7.0 final and the only changes anticipated are documentation changes which I've finally started work on.
mock is a Python library for simple mocking and patching (replacing objects with mocks during test runs). The "headline features" in 0.7.0 are Python 3 support and the ability to mock magic methods. You can now mock objects that behave like containers or are used as context managers. mock is designed for use with unittest, based on the "action -> assertion" pattern rather than "record -> replay". People are happily using mock with Python test frameworks like nose and py.test. 0.7.0 is a major new release with a bunch of other new features and bugfixes as well.

Changes since beta 4:
* Tested with jython, pypy and Python 3.2 and 3.1 * Decorated functions / methods have their docstring and __module__ preserved on Python 2.4 * BUGFIX: mock.patch now works correctly with certain types of objects that proxy attribute access, like the django settings object * BUGFIX: reset_mock caused infinite recursion when a mock is set as its own return value
