I'm afraid I don't understand how that could help in what I'd like to do. The use case I'm concerned with looks roughly like this: def test_client_code_that_uses_IFoo_utility_correctly(self): fake_utility = mock.Mock() fake_utility.underlying_method.return_value = 'canned response' self.zca.patch_utility(fake_utility, IFoo) client_code.perform() fake_utility.underlying_method.assert_called_with(correct_arguments) With the additional conditions that - I'm probably loading configure.zcml in the layer of this test, which defines real IFoo (and, possibly, IBar) utilities. - The client code under test might (or might not) use IBar; either way, I don't care, and certainly don't want to have to mock it, too, for *this* test. - Other tests will likewise want the real IFoo implementation. In other words, I want to replace the utility precisely for this test, isolated from all other tests, and isolated from the layer setup below. plone.testing's stacking approach might help, but only as long as only zope.component.getGlobalSiteManager() is concerned, and as long as I'm only adding or exchanging stuff (come to think of it, I should go and check whether I can "remove" things registered in __bases__ by registering None in the stacked registry...). As far as I can tell, z3c.baseregistry merely introduces another registry (with __bases__ set up sensibly), so I don't think that can help here, or can it?
