I'm yet to be convinced that Nose should be the default test runner for the simple reason that it doesn't come out of the box with Python. However, I agree that using Nose with Django should be as painless as possible. I included the TEST_RUNNER setting specifically for this reason. I haven't seen any reports in Trac that the capabilities of TEST_RUNNER aren't suitable for the task, and I've seen several snippets and blog posts indicating that Nose can be used with Django. If I'm incorrect on this, please let me know (or better still, open a ticket in Trac). Then there is the issue of whether Django should be responsible for shipping a Nose-compatible test runner, or whether that is Nose's responsibility. Historically, I've been of the opinion that it should be Nose's responsibility to ship a test runner, but I'm open to other opinions on this. I'm slightly hesitant to start building extra features like --failfast into Django's testing tools, especially when tools like Nose already cover this territory. Django isn't a test framework tool, and I'm hesitant to support proposals that try to turn it into one.
