python-mock is more jMock than EasyMock in style, it's true, and the
fact that you define expectations *after* the test invocation rather
than before does feel a bit odd. But it does indeed check against the
defined expectations, so that makes it a mock library in my book.

A record-playback EasyMock style mock library would be nice, it's true...
