In some tests I wanted to mock out a call to :meth:`datetime.date.today`
to return a known date, but I didn't want to prevent the code under test from
creating new date objects. Unfortunately :class:`datetime.date` is written in C, and
so I couldn't just monkey-patch out the static :meth:`date.today` method.
so I couldn't just monkey-patch out the static :meth:`datetime.date.today` method.

I found a simple way of doing this that involved effectively wrapping the date
class with a mock, but passing through calls to the constructor to the real
class (and returning real instances).

The :func:`patch decorator <patch>` is used here to
mock out the ``date`` class in the module under test. The :attr:`side_effect`

attribute on the mock date class is then set to a lambda function that returns
a real date. When the mock date class is called a real date will be
constructed and returned by ``side_effect``. ::
