Nosetests works for me just fine; in fact it's preferable.

In my current unit test, which calls coverage directly, I generate the report
like this:
cov.report(file=open('coverage.report','w'),
omit_prefixes=list(('gluon','/path/to/tests')))
That is, I exclude gluon and the unit test directory from the report, which
seems to do the trick just fine. I'm pretty sure you can do the same thing via
the nose plugin, but I haven't tried.
