Bug Description

currently, charm-helpers unit tests use nosetests which does not use a virtualenv and requires packages like python-nosetests to be installed on the host system in order to run the tests. We could avoid this by adding support for tox.

hmm having looked into this it may not be so simple since there's a bunch of dependencies not found in pypi.

Hi, Edward. My typical work-around in this sort of situation is to either a) create my own virtualenv and activate it before running tests or b) install the requirements using pip's --user option, avoiding the need for superuser privileges and isolating the scope of the module to a single user account.

If neither of those will fit your needs, I'd be interested to know your situation.

Gonna have another stab at this. There are now quite a few deps for charmhelpers unit tests and we need (a) an aeasy to do this safely and predictably and (b) an easy way to control what versions we install by using a test-requirements.txt file that matches versions with those in the current release (Trusty).
