I have a class:

class myclass(object):
    @property
    def myproperty(self):
        return 'hello'

Using mox and py.test, how do I mock out myproperty?

I've tried:

mock.StubOutWithMock(myclass, 'myproperty')
myclass.myproperty = 'goodbye'

and

mock.StubOutWithMock(myclass, 'myproperty')
myclass.myproperty.AndReturns('goodbye')

but both fail with AttributeError: can't set attribute.
