In some tests I wanted to mock out a call to :func:`datetime.date.today`
to return a known date, but I didn't want to prevent the code under test from
creating new date objects. Unfortunately `datetime.date` is written in C, and
so I couldn't just monkey-patch out the static `date.today` method.

Mocking a Generator Method
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Python generator is a function or method that uses the `yield statement

A Python generator is a function or method that uses the :keyword:`yield` statement
to return a series of values when iterated over [#]_.
A generator method / function is called to return the generator object. It is
the generator object that is then iterated over. The protocol method for
iteration is `__iter__
<https://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#container.__iter__>`_, so we can
iteration is :meth:`~container.__iter__`, so we can
mock this using a `MagicMock`.
Here's an example class with an "iter" method implemented as a generator:
