The module in question is in the file area of the Yahoo extremeprogramming 
group - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/extremeprogramming/files/PythonMock.zip

As the author of the module, I welcome any feedback on ways to improve 
it.  Unfortunately I am not doing any Python programming at work at the 
moment, so am not currently using it.

If there is any interest in adding the module to the pyunit distribution, 
or hosting it separately on the pyunit site then I would be more than happy 
to contribute it.
