Hi.
You can either adjust the --match=REGEX option which defaults to
(?:^|[\b_\.%s-])[Tt]est or rename all your test files so their
filenames match that pattern.  There is an alternate --include option
which allows you apply additional regular expressions.  You can define
this option many times if you need more patterns.  After your python
files are named in a way where nose will look inside them for tests,
your unittest classes should run just fine (those do not need to be
named in a certain way).
