The goal is for the plugins branch to provide this functionality out of 
the box. My immediate priority is merging the (extensive) changes to 
unittest in Python 3.2 back to unittest2. After that the plugins branch 
becomes my highest priority again.

py.test definitely provides this. I'm not sure about nose. It may be 
possible to do it with unittest(2) using testtools or another library.

All the best,
