is there an easy (python like way) to do mocks?

  Aspect-Oriented Programming framework for Go

But I don't think you can globally overwrite/shadow package methods the same way as in Python/JS/etc. It seems that you are looking for an AOP behavior and as far as I know there aren't many libraries for that in go (aspectgo is the first one that shows up, but it requires to run an additional command)

  Discontinued Monkey patching in Go (by bouk)

I discovered this lib a few days ago. https://github.com/bouk/monkey it allows you to monkey patch entire functions, replacing them by whatever you want. Perfect for mocking. It's simple to use. The program is hard patching the code using assembly to replace the function address at runtime. You should not use this lib out of your tests since it's absolutely not safe. It's only compatible with linux and windows. But it works great!
