@nose.tools.istest not respected

Given the Supported nose Idioms page says pytest supports: __test__ attribute on modules/classes/functions I assumed the following test would be collected:

@nose.tools.istest
def toast_stuff():
    assert 0

Full script with the final test showing that the attribute __test__ is successfully set on the toast_stuff function

import nose.tools

def not_nose():
    assert 0

@nose.tools.istest
def toast_stuff():
    assert 0

def test_attributes():
    assert not hasattr(not_nose, '__test__')
    assert toast_stuff.__test__


$ py.test test_nose.py -v
=== test session starts ===
platform linux2 -- Python 2.7.6 -- py-1.4.23 -- pytest-2.6.1

test_nose.py::test_attributes PASSED

=== 1 passed in 0.03 seconds ===

Am I misunderstanding the docs, and test must also meet the usual name prefix criteria? But I can confirm that nose does find the toast_stuff test:

$ nosetests test_nose.py -v
test_nose.toast_stuff ... FAIL

teaching the nose plugin to consider functions with the test markers should be a matter of a few lines

[tomviner]

ok, will have a go at a fix

[tomviner]

@RonnyPfannschmidt have a look at my PR #921

In particular, are you still thinking this could have been done in the nose plugin rather than core python.py?

[tomviner]

This issue was resolved by the merge of #921

Its a pull in from bitbucket so it's owned by @pytestbot not me. Please close.
