Is it possible that what you really need is a generator function
instead of just a regular one?

def mockit():
    raise StopIteration
    yield None

(The presence of the yield will let the compiler generate the
proper code for this to be a generator, but it will never
actually hit the yield statement when it executes...)

Just a thought.
