[issue36092] unittest.mock's patch.object and patch.dict are not supported on classmethod, propery and staticmethod

[Karthikeyan Singaravelan]

New submission from Karthikeyan Singaravelan <tir.karthi at gmail.com>:

While looking into the unittest.mock tests I came across test_patch_descriptor [0] which makes an early return since patch.object and patch.dict are not supported on staticmethod, classmethod and property as noted in the comment. The tests still fail on master. The test was added during initial addition of mock to stdlib (commit 345266aa7e7) and I couldn't find any issues related to this. So I am filing this if someones wants to fix it.
