Description
When trying to mock a session object when the session serializer is set to Pickle throws an error.
_pickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle <class 'mock.mock.Mock'>: it's not the same object as mock.mock.Mock
This is an inherent problem in python which can be found in issue: https://bugs.python.org/issue20804 and https://github.com/testing-cabal/mock/issues/139.
I think Django should provide a way to make the PickleSerializer overcome this issue.

This is a known limitation of
pickle, and I don't see how we could handle this in Django. You can always use a custom Mock subclass, which will work withpickle.
