[TIP] nosetests with coverage excluding a package

We have a script that launches both servers using Popen but only one is
measured.  So the sequence of the commands for the testsuite are:

    python ignition.py --start-with-pylonsserver

    nosetests -v thisproject/tests_folder --with-coverage --with-xunit
--xunit-file=./nosetests.xml
    coverage xml --include=thisproject/* --omit=./thisproject/tests_folder/*

    python ignition.py --kill

I saw that subprocess page but didn't look into it much since that one
server is getting checked.  I'll look into it in the morning though, along
with the debug command.  Are there any conditions where coverage would
ignore certain folders/packages by default?

(Ned sorry for the double email, forgot to hit "reply all")
