Description

I had trouble trying to install and run the python nose test from pip (nosetest not found).

According to the homepage of nose at https://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Note to Users

Nose has been in maintenance mode for the past several years and will likely cease without a new person/team to take over maintainership. New projects should consider using Nose2, py.test, or just plain unittest/unittest2.

 

Upgrading to pytest is likely the least effort.
