Yeah, I removed as much of the Python 2 compatibility code and thought I'd got it all. Thanks for pointing it out.

I'm maintaining a "clean" (no Python 2 compatibility code) version in the standard library. I'll be maintaining mock, so I'd like to be assigned any issues on it and at least talked to before changes are made. I am maintaining a backport still, but the Python standard library version is the canonical version.

All the best,

Michael Foord

May you do good and not evil
May you find forgiveness for yourself and forgive others
May you share freely, never taking more than you give.
