I'm exactly talking about that kind of layout. Tests in tests/ or
test_abc.py in random dirs or like that. I thought nose could walk the
directories recursively and treat like a test anything resembling one.
Like py.test.

Anyway Jason already told me that nose does not do that and it's
easily customizable returning True in wantDirectory() in a custom
plugin.

Thanks
