Hi Barry,

Thanks a lot for this work, this is very much appreciated.

Unfortunately, I need to maintain a backport of nose-exclude in Wheezy,
and your patch is breaking it (log from the build on my (unclean) laptop):

  File
"/home/zigo/sources/debian_packaging/openstack/openstack-auto-builder/sources/python-nose-exclude/build-area/python-nose-exclude-0.2.0/tests.py",
line 129, in <module>
    class TestNoseExcludeTest(PluginTester, unittest.TestCase):
  File
"/home/zigo/sources/debian_packaging/openstack/openstack-auto-builder/sources/python-nose-exclude/build-area/python-nose-exclude-0.2.0/tests.py",
line 136, in TestNoseExcludeTest
    @unittest.skipIf(IS_PY3, 'issue 10')
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'skipIf'

Would you be able to provide a patch which would work as well in Wheezy?
If not, then maybe we could use six to do the "if python3"?

Your thoughts?

Cheers,

Thomas
