     Type:  defect          |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  normal          |   Milestone:  1.3.0   
Component:  numpy.testing   |     Version:  devel   
 Severity:  normal          |    Keywords:          
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 Nose has some problems with test generators in classes inherited from
 {{{TestCase}}}.  For example,

 {{{
 @dec.knownfailureif(True, "This test is known to fail")
 def test_discrete_rvs_cdf_fail():
    distknownfail = [ ['logser',   (0.6,)]]
    for distname, arg in distknownfail:
        if debug:
            print distname
        yield check_discrete_chisquare, distname, arg
 }}}

 results in:

 {{{
 ...........E
 ======================================================================
