This is how mock.patch should be used, but I'm having some problems on my own codebase.

It's weird, but in this tiny example everything works just fine...

db.py

import boto.s3.connection


creds = {"aws_secret_access_key": "fakes",
         "aws_access_key_id": "fakes"}


class DBConnection(object):
    def connect(self):
        return boto.s3.connection.S3Connection(**creds).get_bucket("something")

requirements.txt

boto==2.9.6
mock==1.0.1
nose==1.3.0

service.py

import db

def connect():
    return db.DBConnection().connect()

tests.py

import service
from mock import patch


def service_test():
    with patch("boto.s3.connection.S3Connection.get_bucket") as c:
        service.connect()
        c.assert_called_with("something")
