iter is initialized by using side_effects, not return_value. The statement "According to the documentation .return_value should be identical to the object returned when calling the mock" works only when it return_value has been used to define the behaviour of the mock. Example: ``` >>> m = MagicMock(side_effect=lambda: 1) >>> m() 1 >>> m.return_value <MagicMock name='mock()' id='140107830678472'> >>> m() is m.return_value False ```
