Batteries included: builtin nose plugins — nose 1.3.7 documentation

# Batteries included: builtin nose plugins

nose includes a number of builtin plugins that can make testing faster and easier.

Note

nose 0.11.2 includes a change to default plugin loading. Now, a 3rd party plugin with the same name as a builtin will be loaded instead of the builtin plugin.
