Is the nose a continuation of unittest?

Question

I am going to use the nose as a method to detect the test on the already implemented unittest classes in my rather large project. I got the impression that the nose is mainly used for test detection and testing (in parallel). But I see this question , as if the nose replaces unittest. Can someone clarify what they mean here? I don’t have any basic functionality that provides a nose?

As a note, what's the difference between py.test and nose?

Answer 1

docs for the nose say:

unittest, py.test , .

, , unittest .

import logging
import sys
import unittest

, , , - , unittest ( , , ).

Answer 2
