Thank me when we get there ;-) Currently in Dec 2018 with a wonderful 
Py2 failure:

======================================================================
ERROR: test_autospec_getattr_partial_function 
(mock.tests.testhelpers.SpecSignatureTest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "mock/tests/testhelpers.py", line 973, in

   File "mock/mock.py", line 2392, in create_autospec
     for entry in dir(spec):
TypeError: __dir__() must return a list, not str

Once we're done, I'll need a username/password that can write to 
https://pypi.org/project/mock/ ...

Yep, current script I've been using is here, high level highlighted:
