You can also nosetests --exe; with that option, nose will also include 
executable files (see the section "nosetests usage" on the website 
(http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/#usage, under 
"Options")).

It took me a while too before I could figure what was wrong, and how to 
solve it.
