That's right, there are many flaws in ‘unittest’. It nevertheless has
the overwhelming advantage of being present in any standard Python
installation.

Using ‘nose’ at least builds upon the standard library ‘unittest’
module, so can easily integrate existing unit tests. It can also be
used as a unit test discovery and runner framework, which doesn't
impact the usefulness of the tests themselves on machines that don't
have ‘nose’ installed.
