 I've gotten nose 0.10.3 up and running with !Python 2.6 by setting
 {{{__hash__}}} in !ContextSuite to {{{object.__hash__}}}.

 Now, when I run the test suite with the latest Python and !NumPy trunks, I
 see the following issues:

 {{{
 /opt/python26/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/lib/tests/test_io.py:68:
 SyntaxWarning: assertion is always true, perhaps remove parentheses?
 }}}
 {{{

 packages/numpy/ma/tests/test_core.py:1350: SyntaxWarning: assertion is
 always true, perhaps remove parentheses?

 {{{

 {{{

 The following failure happens on Windows with Python 2.6b2 too:
