Hi Rob,

first, happy new year :)

I've been working on this other fixtures-based project for a while:

https://github.com/freeekanayaka/systemfixtures

It's a "collection of Python fixtures to fake out various system
resources (processes, users, groups, etc.)", which typically comes handy
to add meaningful/sane tests to the type of code folks would often use
python-mock for (or no tests at all). For example "system" scripts like
the ones found in Juju charms [0].

Documentation and examples here:

http://systemfixtures.readthedocs.io/

There's already a Debian package in sid/stretch.

I think it'd make sense to have it under github.com/testing-cabal, but
lemme know your take.
