Python nosetest output formatting

Question

I am using nosetests and have a directory structure as follows

repo package1 sub1 tests test1.py test2.py package2 sub2 tests test3.py test4.py package3 package4 

and if test1.py is below

 class TestClass1(unittest.TestCase) def test_method1() class TestClass2(unittest.TestCase) def test_method2() class TestClass3(unittest.TestCase) def test_method3 

The output of the nosetests run is done below

 [Method name] [modulename]. [ClassName] ... status test_method1 (test1.TestClass1) ... ok test_method2 (test1.TestClass2) ... ok test_method3 (test1.TestClass3) ... ok 

I would like to format this output to something like below

 repo.package1.sub1 [package] SUCCESS test1.py [unit test file] SUCCESS TestClass1.test_method1 [unit test] SUCCESS TestClass2.test_method2 [unit test] SUCCESS TestClass3.test_method3 [unit test] SUCCESS 

Any help? Thanks.

You can write your own exit control plugin. There are two pages on this page that already do this: nose_machineout and nose subunit. They will be a good starting point for you.
