Nose and coverage

I'm working on improving the PyBlosxom testing situation and in the process of doing that ran into a problem with nose (version 0.10.0) and coverage (version 2.77). Both installed with easy_install.

When running:

nosetests --verbose --with-coverage --cover-package=Pyblosxom --include unit
nosetests --verbose --with-coverage --cover-package=Pyblosxom --include functional

I bumped into the problem described here (nose.python-hosting.com) and here (code.google.com). The solution is to either:

remove coverage.py from /usr/bin, or
change the filename from /usr/bin/coverage.py to /usr/bin/coverage

Yes, this comes up quite a bit on the nose list and tracker. Unfortunately, there is nothing nose can do about it. I keep telling people to report this directly to the coverage maintainer although it doesn't look like there is an obvious way to submit bugs so I'm not sure if anyone has. Maybe you can find a way to submit a bug report :) This is very easy to fix in coverage itself.

Three things:

New comments get placed in a "draft" status and will NOT show up on the site until I explicitly approve it. Sometimes that happens within 24 hours.
I reserve the right to reject/remove inappropriate comments.
Sometimes I'll reply to a comment directly in email--so make sure your email address is correct.

If you can't for some reason post a comment, send me an email: willg at bluesock dot org.
