It's a runner of python unit tests (written in various formats etc.). My requirements are a little different. I have tests from various sources (some hardware testing on various platforms), some unite tests on code written in C etc. I need to 0. collate all of these into some sort of standard format and 1. Run them to produce statistics. > What you do inside the function can be anything as long as you signal a > pass/fail condition for nose to report.

I could make it a general purpose framework but from what I know, it wasn't intended to do that. For 0. above, I'm thinking of trying the backend of subunit ( https://launchpad.net/subunit) and for 1, pandokia.
