Patch a config file imported as another name in python

I'm trying to patch a config file used in a django app and having trouble understanding how to do it given the way we import the config. I don't think the fact that it's Django has much relevance here, but it partially drives this file structure.

app/views.py

from . import config as APP_CONFIG
...later on in some function...
retry_count = APP_CONFIG.MAX_NUMBER_RETRIES

app/config.py

MAX_NUMBER_RETRIES = 1

How do I properly patch this config setting?

I've tried varieties of @patch('app.views.CONFIG.MAX_NUMBER_RETRIES', 1) or @patch('app.config.MAX_NUMBER_RETRIES', 1) in my testing function to no avail (I use pytest).
