Allow change properties of objects or modules

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm trying to change a settings property, only for a case.

Example:

1. My objects uses a django.conf.setting.ITEM_PER_PAGE property
2. In my test I want to change this value avoiding side effects on other tests.

For now i'm changing the value by hand and backing the before value on 
afterEach. But i'm afraid of forgetting the afterEach one day, so i propose to 
have some signature like this:

with mock.patch.properties(settings, ITEM_PER_PAGE=2):
    #my test here

What do you think?

How would this be different to:

with mock.patch.object(settings, 'ITEM_PER_PAGE', 2):
    # ...

Or:

with mock.patch.multiple(settings, ITEM_PER_PAGE=2):
   # ...

?
