Good point - that would make sense.

True. As I'm pushing for this, I should offer to help. Unfortunately, I'm
extremely busy the rest of this week and the next two, so if someone else
can do it that would be good. Otherwise, I'll try to do something in early
February.

How about keeping track of how many tests get run and printing "X tests
completed" at the end?
I guess it depends - I just worry that if people type "python setup.py test"
and see no feedback, this will feel more reassuring than it should.
