Pyramid itself runs tests with the coverage package without issues (run
via 'setup.py nosetests --with-xunit --with-xcoverage' -- see the 'cover'
environment in its tox.ini).  We use it routinely for apps built on
Pyramid as well.  The venusian decorator does not do anything to
interfere with coverage:  the attributes it adds to the decorated
function are used to populate Pyramid's registry during the later "scan"
phase.
