+;; nose.el --- Easy Python test running in Emacs
+
+;; Copyright (C) 2009 Jason Pellerin, Augie Fackler
+
+;; Licensed under the same terms as Emacs.
+
+;; Version: 0.1.0
+;; Keywords: nose python testing
+;; Created: 04 Apr 2009
+
+;; This file is NOT part of GNU Emacs.
+
+;; Licensed under the same terms as Emacs.
+
+;;; Commentary:
+;; This gives a bunch of functions that handle running nosetests on a
+;; particular buffer or part of a buffer.
+
+;;; Installation
+
+;; In your emacs config:
+;;
+;; (require 'nose)
+;; ; next line only for people with non-eco non-global test runners
+;; ; (add-to-list 'nose-project-names "my/crazy/runner")
+
+;; Note that if your global nose isn't called "nosetests", then you'll want to
+;; redefine nose-global-name to be the command that should be used.
+
+;; Probably also want some keybindings:
+;; (add-hook 'python-mode-hook
+;;           (lambda ()
+;;             (local-set-key "\C-ca" 'nosetests-all)
+;;             (local-set-key "\C-cm" 'nosetests-module)
+;;             (local-set-key "\C-c." 'nosetests-one)
+;;             (local-set-key "\C-cpa" 'nosetests-pdb-all)
+;;             (local-set-key "\C-cpm" 'nosetests-pdb-module)
+;;             (local-set-key "\C-cp." 'nosetests-pdb-one)))
