Agreed - adding nose as a dependency for running unit tests would make people less, not more likely to run them. > Then there is the issue of whether Django should be responsible for > shipping a Nose-compatible test runner, or whether that is Nose's > responsibility.

I think this is fits in to the conversation at DjangoCon about how we should go about encouraging Django users to explore the wider Python ecosystem. The important thing is that we can have some official (or semi-official) documentation somewhere saying "to access enhanced test running commands, install nose and drop this string in to your TEST_RUNNER setting." The string itself could point at dango.something or nose.something, the important thing from my point of view is that they don't have to grab a test runner script from another third party, then figure out where to put it within their project. If nose don't want to ship the test runner, I'd be fine with putting it in django.contrib somewhere.
