@muffgaga

master HEAD in the mock backend throws an error in …/pyNN/mock/projections.py line 43.
(We used the test introduced in PR #691.)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test/system/test_speed_mock.py", line 201, in test_scaling

  File "…/pyNN/mock/projections.py", line 43, in __init__
    connector.connect(self)
TypeError: connect() missing 1 required positional argument: 'projection'

when providing a Connector type instead of an instance when creating a Projection:

proj = sim.Projection(pre, post, sim.OneToOneConnector, synapse_type=sim.StaticSynapse(weight=1.0))

The error itself is probably correct, but the error message could be improved to better explain the user error.
