My favourite is ‘python-minimock’, reflected in the fact that I'm the
Debian maintainer for that package, so take that as evidence of whatever
bias you think relevant :-)

For your purposes, it's very small and works entirely with the standard
library.

Debian also has packages for a bunch of other promising Python libraries
for test doubles, ‘python-mock’ and ‘python-dingus’ being ones that look
promising.
