python patch object that is under __init__.py

I'm writing a test and I want to mock a list that is located in init.py, meaning not under a class. The object reference is: project/app/management/commands/__init__.py

and __init__.py looks something like:

my_list_of_dict = [
{
    'name': 'option1',
    'vesion': 0,

},
{
    'name': 'option1',
    'vesion': 0,

}
]

If it was under a class I would do something like -

@mock.patch.object(Class, 'my_list_of_dict')

but it isn't the case.

I tried something like

@mock.patch('project.app.management.commands.my_list_of_dict')
def test(self, mock_list):
    mock_list.return_value = [{.....}]

But it didn't work.
