python-nose is broken with python 2.6.3-dev

After a manual update to nose version 0.11.0 it is still fully broken the exact same way.
There is something broken here but I'm not sure what the root cause is...

It works fine with python2.5 but not with Python 2.6.2+ (release26-maint, Jun 19 2009, 15:16:33)

Perhaps something to do with where the package is installed? Maybe pkg_resources doesn't know how to handle all the unconventional package locations created by debian's python policy.

This looks similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nose/+bug/337585

I can confirm that the problem still exists.

The problem is still there and is quite puzzling:

It seems a difference between -0ubuntu1 and -0ubuntu2 (jaunty and karmic alpha 2) is this. It looks very relevant.

NB that the change mentioned above is an upstream one.

The problem is in essence that an upstream change to unittest reveals a bug in how nose overrides TestProgram.runTests.

I shall file a bug upstream.

http://code.google.com/p/python-nose/issues/detail?id=276 filed

http://bugs.python.org/issue6177

<- as i see it this bug is fixed since over a month in upstream, would make me happy if the maintainer could make a new python-release package that fix fix this problem.

sorry, assigned to wrong person, ubuntu-core-dev is "the" maintainer

no problem, if i can help you... i work all day with python

Where is the fix??
http://bugs.python.org/issue6177 does not provide the fix. It is the commit which *breaks* python-nose.

It is still broken.

Hmm ok I think you are right.

I did not test it. But i think you are right. Sorry i read next time more accuratly. I thought i see a bug that describes the bug, and a patch. But it seems to be another problem which fix broke this.

Indeed :)
Nose is still fully broken in karmic :(

File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/nose/core.py", line 192, in runTests
    result = self.testRunner.run(self.test)
TypeError: unbound method run() must be called with TextTestRunner instance as first argument (got ContextSuite instance instead)

This is the upstream bug (in python core, not nose): http://bugs.python.org/issue6418

According to Michael Foord, it's fixed in the 2.6 branch and trunk. Maybe karmic isn't updated yet? I have no idea how or when that process happens.

This bug was fixed in the package python2.6 - 2.6.2-0ubuntu3

---------------
python2.6 (2.6.2-0ubuntu3) karmic; urgency=low

  * Add debian/patches/issue6418.dpatch taken from the 2.6 release branch
    to fix problems with other test runners. (LP: #389942)
