When I use nose from terminal to display test result with coverage I get error and missing lines that are actually covered
$ python -m nose.core test_utils.py -s --with-coverage
saying
======================================================================
ERROR: Failure: AttributeError ('module' object has no attribute 'test_utils')

how is the test_utils not found? I am standing in the same directory!
alright while troubleshooting I got my answer,
the test module have to have
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
in order for python -m nose.core test_utils.TestUtils --with-coverage to work
earlier i just had unittest.main()
