nosetests --with-nosedep <module> runs much more tests than asked for

OK

For now the only use of nosedep is in Omaha/test/test_torishogi.py:

@depends(after=test_loadpgn)
def test_undoredo():

See below the diff between the last 2 runs when using -v. You'll notice that the nosedep run does not include all of the tests of its supermodule, but also that some of those tests are run several times, and that the order of execution differs from the standard nosetests order, even for tests which do not make use of nosedep.

Hi, this does sound similar to #13 which links to a proposed fix. Maybe it would be possible for you to see if that helps?

Looks like that fix was never included in a release, so would be interesting to know if solves this as well.
