Nose 0.9.1 released

This entry is somewhat belated. Nose 0.9.1 was released a few days ago, but the vagaries of life are such that I am only getting around to announcing the release now.

Nose 0.9.1 is mainly a bug-fix release, but it does contain a few new features.

  • The --where (-w), --include and --exclude arguments may now all appear multiple times in a single command line, allowing easier running of multiple test suites and test suites with more diverse layouts.
  • For programmatic use, nose.runmodule() was added. Similar to doctest.runmodule() and unittest.main(), nose.runmodule() will load and run tests in the current module, which defaults to __main__.
  • A number of changes to plugins and plugin hooks make current plugins work better and allow more interesting plugins to be written.

Just about everything in this release was driven by requests from users. Thanks to the many folks who filed bug reports and suggested features, ideas and solutions to thorny problems.

More information and installation instructions are available on the nose homepage
