It lets you run tests from specific apps, modules, or classes without importing everything into a tests/__init__.py file, and it supports nose plugins for extended functionality.\n\nThe package also provides optional performance features: fixture bundling (which can speed up fixture-based tests), database reuse to cut startup time, and hygienic TransactionTestCases that reduce unnecessary database flushes. It has been tested with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. However, both nose and django-nose have been in maintenance mode for years; the sole maintainer is no longer an active user, and the description explicitly recommends new projects use pytest or Django's built-in unittest framework instead.","worth_installing":"No, not for new projects. The package is abandoned (maintenance mode since 2015, last release 2020), and its own documentation recommends pytest or Django's unittest framework for new work. Install only if maintaining an existing codebase already using django-nose; for new Django projects, use pytest or Django's built-in testing framework instead."},"id":"django-nose","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-nose","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-nose.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-nose/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-08-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-nose","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Makes your Django tests simple and snappy"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":386466,"position":7051,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.4.7"}
