Not really sure about this. The runtests.py script already provides the same functionality.

I'd feel more comfortable recommending nose in general as it is a better test runner(useful reporting, test selection, coverage analysis, etc). I think I'd be more inclined to merge a pull request that updated the documentation to include nose(and possibly tox) usage and removed the custom runner altogether.

I will look into that. If you could provide more information on what you would like done, i would be more than willing to do it. I would like this api to be as robust as possible since I am using it in another project. I am more than willing to contribute

Okay, so given that you can already run the tests using distribute/setuptools, by running the unittest module directly with python's -m option, and there is at least a basic pointer to nose in the docs I don't really want to include yet another seemingly "blessed" way to run the tests.

I'm also going to pull the runtests.py script, as it doesn't provide any additional value over using the other standard methods(or nose for that matter).
