Good catch! Another approach would be to rewrite and rename `_setup_test` to `test` and either delete the 'test_verbose' function or write it as `test_verbose = functools.partial(test, verbose=True)` to ged rid of the rather complex setup/lambda routine. Would you add a PR for this, please? I could do it as well, if you don't want… Johannes Schönberger Am 14.12.2012 um 04:42 schrieb Steven Silvester <steven.silvester@gmail.com>:
Hey all, I noticed that loading skimage seemed to take a bit longer than I'd like, so I profiled it. On my machine, it takes 1.6 seconds to import skimage, 0.4 of which was from numpy, and 1.2 of which was from loading nose in skimage/__init__.py. This simple patch brings my import time down to ~0.4 seconds, since it only imports nose when the test function is called.
