Bug report

3.12.0a7 changed the behavior ofunittest.mock.PropertyMock

Setup:

from unittest.mock import MagicMock, PropertyMockm = MagicMock()p1 = PropertyMock(return_value=3)p2 = PropertyMock(side_effect=ValueError)type(m).foo = p1type(m).bar = p2

In Python 3.12.0a6 and earlier,m.foo evaluates as 3, andm.bar raises a ValueError.

In Python 3.12.0a7,m.foo evaluates as 3, andm.bar returns<MagicMock name='mock.bar' id=...>
