Can't we at least seperate the two concerns?

Move everything to mox3 for python3 - should just be mostly
import changes.

Then decide if we want to migrate to mock (I like mock, but it can be
lots of work changing it). In Heat new tests are done in mock, but
we are not wholesale migrating to mock - 'cos well there is lots of
better things to do.
