I think so, though I'm not 100% certain because I haven't finished the
ipython work.  So far what I have for ip is all nose mods done as a
nose plugin.  Right now that plugin needs to be installed as a true
plugin (i.e. via setuptools), but IPython does NOT need to be
installed via st.  What I need to add is a way to  run the testing via
a python script (right now I use the command line, hence the
requirement for the plugin to be really available to nose) that would
correctly load and configure everything needed.

I think under this scenario, it should be possible to load this plugin
from a private package (IPython.testing.plugin) instead of the nose
namespace, but that's the part I have yet to confirm with an actual
implementation.
