One more comment after a day of writing unit tests: installing
coverage.py via a test runner is not a good idea.

The test runner is executed pretty late and there is a chance that
part of your code gets executed earlier.  I do not know if this is the
only possible case, but I had the code in appname/__init__.py files
executed during translation initialization, which is way before Django
even looks at the command line passed to manage.py.

Right now my code detects the --with-coverage option and installs
coverage right in projectname/manage.py as the very first thing,
before importing any other module.  This gives far more accurate
results.

I still believe it would be a good idea to add the --with-coverage
option to Django, since it would make it a bit easier it for people to
do proper testing (and one less excuse not to do it right).  If it
sounds good to you I can create a patch for that, moving the code that
installs coverage.py to django.core.management.
