This is a plugin for nosetests, a discovery based test runner for python.

If you're hacking deep inside your codebase and you break a core component, your test suite will probably blow up a zillion times with the same error. Instead, you can run nosetests --trim-errors to see only the unique exceptions. For example...

======================================================================
ERROR: test.deep_inside.mymodule.test
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
AttributeError
