Hey Dave,

Thanks for writing it. I've read through the code and it's 
pretty slick. :)

I have thought about extending it so that it could recognize
parameters.

In java, I got used to EasyMock ( http://easymock.org ),
where you actually have two objects - a mock object and a
controller. You call the mock object, and then tell the
controller what result it should return. I think the way you
do this in python is a whole lot cleaner, but I miss being
able to test for parameters.

Cheers,
