  """Sample Usage:
     You want os.path.exists() to always return true during testing.
 
     stubs = StubOutForTesting()
     stubs.Set(os.path, 'exists', lambda x: 1)
       ...
     stubs.UnsetAll()
 
     The above changes os.path.exists into a lambda that returns 1.  Once
     the ... part of the code finishes, the UnsetAll() looks up the old value
     of os.path.exists and restores it.

       at the module, class, and instance level while preserving proper

       This method supports the case where attr_name is a staticmethod or a
       classmethod of obj.
 
       Notes:
      - If obj is an instance, then it is its class that will actually be
        stubbed. Note that the method Set() does not do that: if obj is
        an instance, it (and not its class) will be stubbed.
      - The stubbing is using the builtin getattr and setattr. So, the __get__
        and __set__ will be called when stubbing (TODO: A better idea would
        probably be to manipulate obj.__dict__ instead of getattr() and
        setattr()).
 
       Raises AttributeError if the attribute cannot be found.
