nose-timelimit is a nose plugin that allows you automatically skip tests that are too slow.
It requires at least one run with the whole suite to register the timings. If a test fails timings are not registered for it (thus it will never get skipped).
Just run pip install nose-timelimit or easy_install nose-timelimit.
--with-timelimit- Just activates the plugin (will only register timing data).--timelimit=X- Runs only the tests that had previously ran underXseconds. Implies--with-timelimit.--timelimit-silent- Don't print the duration for each test.
Known to work with nose 1.3, it may work with nose as old as 0.10 - try it.
