Dear Maintainer,
Your package still uses nose [1], which is an obsolete testing framework for
Python, dead and unmaintained since 2015 [2][3].
If you received this bug report, it means that your package either has a
build-dependency on python3-nose or uses that package in debian/tests/control.
If that is not the case, please reply and CC me explicitly.
Please port your package to one of the alternatives: nose2 [4], pytest [5]
or unittest from Python standard library [6].
There is a script called nose2pytest [7] which can assist with migrating from
nose to pytest.
This mass bug filing was discussed on debian-devel in [8].

even if "apt rdepends python3-nose" indicates a dependency of pysph form
nose, it is not the case for the current version of the package (the one
in unstable, 1.0~b1-2).
The previous version of the package (1.0~b0~20191115.gite3d5e10-4),
currently only in stable, have this dependency.
pysph is not in testing currently.
The migration of pysph 1.0~b1-2 to testing is blocked by #1010961 and
#1015009 (ROM to remove old binary packages for [ppc64 s390x] from
unstable).
I do not think that there is nothing that I can do at the moment apart
for waiting the closure of #1010961 and #1015009 and the migration to
testing.
Please let me know how to proceed.
kind regards
