I saw a couple of examples like that but I wanted to use nose-style tests for everything. I guess I'll have to use plain old TestCase classes.
maybe nose should implemente a set of module level functions that mimic the TestCase methods, I'll look around their trac to open a ticket/submit a patch.
Maybe the attached hack helps. Just make sure you don't keep it inside the path nosetests scans or it will spew a funky TypeError when trying to load the module when looking for tests in it.
To use:
from TestCaseMod import *
test_foo(): failUnlessRaises(NotImplementedError, source.create)
Disclaimer: Minimally tested (sic)
