Announcing nose: python unittest extension

My latest long-term home project (nevermind what it is, it's ages away from being anything) spawned a little sub-project, which I'm releasing today, having finally come up with the requisite name that sounds clever at first but seems less and less so each time you hear it.

nose is a unittest extension for python that does some of the more useful things that py.test does, without resorting to py-style magic. It lets you write tests more simply, provides more options for setup/teardown hooks, and lets you use print-style debugging of tests more easily by capturing stdout during test runs and only printing output for failing tests.

If you have occasion to write python unittests, check out the first release.
