Comment (by dustin):

 There's no problem with mocking third-party objects -- in fact, that's the
 "normal" use of mocks.  Synchronizing the mock and the API there has not
 been problematic, and should be tested with integration tests.

 Mock can do some introspection (and Foord announced that 0.8.0 has
 "autospec", which makes it even easier).  However, I'd like to check the
 signatures directly, rather than relying on the tests to uncover any
 inconsistencies by getting an error from mock.  If practical, we can do
 both!
