Can someone please demonstrate how to do it in other forms? I.e. without a context manager

there is one decorator method:

@patch("...", new_callable=mock.PropertyMock,return_value="some_value")
def test_fun(self, mock):
    pass
@patch('path.to.ObjectClass.my_property', new_callable=mock.PropertyMock)
def test_fun(self, mock):
    mock.return_value="some_value"
    pass
