It doesn't interpose between Python and the OS: it mocks the OS. It is, therefore, a mock (!). Consequently, if you want to test that parameters are passed to the OS, you shouldn't use a mock, but an actual file. There are several tests which already do that, it shouldn't be too hard to write your own.
