Replace nose with nose2

Since I am assuming you are not planning to support Python versions lower then 2.6 this project should move to nose2 which is based on unittest2. I can do it if you wish.

Only runtests.py should have to change, right? Go for it!

garybernhardt avatar Jun 13 '13 03:06 garybernhardt

@garybernhardt More or less. I can also change the tests format to be more readable if they will use the Such DSL.

I'm opposed to DSL attempts like that in Python, but I wouldn't mind seeing the runner use nose2 by default.

garybernhardt avatar Jun 14 '13 00:06 garybernhardt

Gotcha. It actually does make the tests & the test results much more readable. I'll do it by next week or so :)

Such DSL, try googling that.

-1. It's a syntactic and semantic mess, like all attempts to get RSpec-like syntax in Python (he says, having written one such tool years ago).

But I'm still fine with changing to nose2, of course.

My remark was more on the quality of "such DSL" as a google term. I had a hard time finding what it was and looked like.

I should have been clearer on that.

Ahh, yeah, I totally misunderstood. :)

It's still on my TODO list but I'm in the process of writing nose2 0.5.0 so it might take me a bit of time.
