See my prior mail. I will be backporting all the changes in mock from the stdlib to the mock standalone lib in the near future. I have upload acls from Michael Foord for PyPI and I'm not afraid to use them to fix it up - if you wanted to prep a narrow patch to fix 3.4 then please do so here - https://github.com/testing-cabal/mock -Rob -- Robert Collins <rbtcoll...@hp.com> Distinguished Technologist HP Converged Cloud -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
