ImportError: Import by filename is not supported

[marcosflobo]

I'm trying to use fakeldap library with a simple example.

test_base.py

import unittest
from mock import patch
from fakeldap import MockLDAP

_mock_ldap = MockLDAP()

ldap_server = 'ldaps://myldapserver'

class BaseTests(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        # Patch where the ldap library is used:
        self.ldap_patcher = patch(ldap_server)
        self.mock_ldap = self.ldap_patcher.start()
        self.mock_ldap.return_value = _mock_ldap

    def tearDown(self):
        _mock_ldap.reset()
        self.mock_ldap.stop()

Dependencies:

• python-mock-1.0.1

When I execute: python test_base.py
It raises this error:

self.mock_ldap = self.ldap_patcher.start()
