I use virtualenv, something like this::

 $ export WHERE=/tmp/test-yourpackage
 $ /path/to/python/bin/virtualenv --no-site-packages $WHERE
 $ $WHERE/bin/easy_install nose coverage
 $ $WHERE/easy_install --always-unzip yourpackage
 $ export TARGET=$WHERE/lib/python2.x/site-packages
 $ $WHERE/bin/nosetests  --where=$TARGET/yourpackage-x.y-python2.x.egg
