Both unittest and nose are test runners. Unittest is part of Python's<br>
standard library and is pretty bare-bones. Nose is a third party<br>
library that extends unittest to make running tests easier and move<br>
convenient -- no need to have all your tests in a unittest.TestClass<br>
for example, and there are lots of useful plugins for coverage and<br>
profiling, etc. Anything supported by unittest should automatically be<br>
supported by nose since nose has a superset of features, but I don't<br>
know if I'd call them complimentary exactly..<br>
