== Summary ==
The {{package|python-nose}} ({{package|python3-nose}}) package will be
[https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/deprecating-packages/
deprecated]
In 99% cases pytest works as a drop-in replacement, so mostly there is
very little reason to use nose. Actually, I was always baffled by its
popularity, because pytest has been a noticeably better as far as I
remember.
Unfortunately, some tests suites actually import something from nose.
without replacement
Maybe reword this part? "without replacement" a) sounds scary and
b) also suggests that something is actually removed and c) pytest is
a very good replacement.
I can reword it, but the fact is that neither pytest nor nose2 are drop-in
replacements.
Reworded:
The python-nose (python3-nose) package will be deprecated in Fedora 32. Nose is
dead upstream, but far to many packages still BuildRequire it, so we cannot
remove it yet. Packagers are encouraged to switch to python3-pytest or
python3-nose2, but python3-nose remains available for the time being.
