+nosetests
+-------------
+
+To do minimal tests without wrapping everything in a class, import assert
+functions from nose.tools, eg:
+
+    from nose.tools import assert_raises, assert_equal
+
+To do interactive pdb debugging, simply:
+
+    $ nosetests --pdb
+        # or sometimes:
+    $ nosetests --pdb-failures
