[TIP] nosetests with coverage excluding a package

[Ned Batchelder]

To get coverage measurement of subprocesses, you need to take some extra 
steps, unless I'm missing something you're doing in the description 
below.  Are both servers started with Popen?  And one is measured and 
the other is not?  You can check on measurement with the "coverage debug 
data" command, which will show you a summary of the data collected 
during the last run.

There's a page in the docs about getting subprocesses measured:
