[issue35753] Importing call from unittest.mock directly causes ValueError

Is it the below example scenario being discussed in the issue? Since call is imported it's also present in obj.__dict__ and hence trying to unwrap it [0] could cause error.

This is also mentioned in https://bugs.python.org/issue25532#msg253885 against which this issue was closed. 

> This can occur when you use doctest.DocTestSuite to load doc tests from a module where unittest.mock.call has been imported.

# bpo35753.py
from unittest.mock import call

./python.exe -m doctest bpo35753.py
