nose2 is the next generation of nicer testing for Python, based on the plugins
branch of unittest2. nose2 aims to improve on nose by:
- providing a better plugin API
- being easier for users to configure
- simplifying internal interfaces and processes
- supporting Python 2 and 3 from the same codebase, without translation
- encouraging greater community involvement in its development
In service of some those goals, some features of nose will not be supported in
nose2. See the documentation for a thorough rundown.
