[TIP] getting access to the discovered test list

[Titus Brown]

-> One of the features I was adding to our custom test runner required me

Hi, Bear,

one thing you might try (and it's a hack) is to use the pinocchio
'outputsave' option.  Grab & install the latest version of pinocchio,

     easy_install http://darcs.idyll.org/~t/projects/pinocchio-latest.tar.gz

and then do

     nosetests --with-outputsave

This will create a bunch of files named 'success-<testname>', one for
each test.  This will save you writing a plugin to do it yourself.

There's probably a much easier way of doing it but I don't have a good
memory for the nose command line options.

cheers,
