Body
There are a few problems. First of all, the way you're using <code>mock.patch</code> isn't quite right. When used as a decorator, it replaces the given function/class (in this case, <code>datetime.date.today</code>) with a <code>Mock</code> object only within the decorated function. So, only within your <code>today()</code> will <code>datetime.date.today</code> be a different function, which doesn't appear to be what you want. What you really want seems to be more like this: <pre><code>@mock.patch('datetime.date.today') def test(): datetime.date.today.return_value = date(2010, 1, 1) print datetime.date.today() </code></pre> Unfortunately, this won't work: <pre><code>>>> test() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "build/bdist.macosx-10.6-universal/egg/mock.py", line 557, in patched File "build/bdist.macosx-10.6-universal/egg/mock.py", line 620, in __enter__ TypeError: can't set attributes of built-in/extension type 'datetime.date' </code></pre> This fails because Python built-in types are immutable - see <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/192649/can-you-monkey-patch-methods-on-core-types-in-python/192857#192857">this answer</a> for more details. In this case, I would subclass datetime.date myself and create the right function: <pre><code>import datetime class NewDate(datetime.date): @classmethod def today(cls): return cls(2010, 1, 1) datetime.date = NewDate </code></pre> And now you could do: <pre><code>>>> datetime.date.today() NewDate(2010, 1, 1) </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
