This is due the probing that the interactive shell does for 
autocompletion.  It works if you turn autocompletion off in the shell, 
though that limits the usability of the shell.  Wing's debugger has the 
same problem if code is stepped through and it stops on the assert 
exception that the mocker library seems to use for normal flow control.

It may be possible to hack mocker to ignore the probing that the shell 
does for autocompletion (ignoring getting __dict__, for example) but I 
have not tried, in part because it's not obvious how the mocker code works.

Cheers,
