New description:
Several projects we depend on use nose to do self-tests. In order to test
these packages, we'd have to have nose installed.
This is fairly simple without an spkg:
{{{
wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/n/nose/nose-1.1.2.tar.gz # or
the latest version at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/nose/
tar xzvf nose-1.1.2.tar.gz
cd nose-1.1.2
sage -python setup.py install
}}}
However, it might make sense to have nose be an optional spkg.
Matplotlib relies on nose to do tests
(http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/devel/coding_guide.html#testing), as
well as numpy/scipy
(http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/wiki/TestingGuidelines).
