Mocking an iterable object produces a non-iterable mock object

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've seen this happen with some parts of django (djangoproject.com), as well as 
homebrew 
iterable objects.

Calling

mock = Mock(spec=IterableClass)

will indeed provide a mock object made of that class, but trying things like

"a" in mock

will cause an exception as follows:

"TypeError: argument of type 'Mock' is not iterable"

Mock doesn't currently attempt to mock iterables. It's a worthy feature request 
though.

The latest version of Mock in subversion supports iteration (and subscription). 
No
docs yet, see the tests for details.
