title: How to stub Python methods without Mock
body: <p>I'm a C# dev moving into some Python stuff, so I don't know what I'm doing just yet.  I've read that you don't really need Dependency Injection with Python. I've been told you can instantiate objects in your code and have them run the way you want, however, you can point methods on those objects to my own stubs defined in my tests - supposedly without mocks.</p>
  
  <p>Is this true?  I've tried to do it and can't quite get it working.  How is this actually done?  How do I stub a method in Python without a mocking library?</p>
