I'm using 0.1.4 and get

E       AttributeError: 'cimpl.Consumer' object has no attribute '__dict__'

when trying to mock https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/clients/confluent-kafka-python/html/index.html#confluent_kafka.Consumer.poll but im faced with this error

>       forbiddenfruit.curse(consumer, "poll", MockKafkaMessage())

Where consumer is an instance of

confluent_kafka.Consumer

My bad forbiddenfruit patches attributes of a class and not an instance of a class.

I fixed this by doing

from confluent_kafka import Consumer
forbiddenfruit.curse(Consumer, "poll", MockKafkaMessage())
consumer = Consumer(...)

instead of

from confluent_kafka import Consumer
consumer = Consumer(...)
forbiddenfruit.curse(consumer, "poll", MockKafkaMessage())
