[TIP] Coverage.py 3.2b1: Branch coverage]

[holger krekel]

Hi Ned, Vicky, all,

what about a plugin that works on both nose and pytest? 

Rozza has done a coverage plugin for pytest here. 
http://github.com/rozza/py.test-plugins/blob/master/pytest_coverage.py
and i am happy to help to work on a joint one.  
If i see it correctly it shouldn't be hard to make a 
single source & setup for a nose/py.test plugin. 

cheers,
holger
