That seems a bit much splitting to me.

(By the way, the ".. module::" directive should only be in one place.)

I would organize the mock, mock-patch, mock-magicmethods and mock-helpers as one file in Doc/library, and put the other two in Doc/howto, just as for logging.

In general, I wouldn't mind splitting off more of the exemplary material from the main library docs, putting it in the howto section.
