Description: Nose order plugin
        
        This plugin allows methods in Nose test classes to run in the order they are
        defined, rather than alphabetically.
        
        Note that it is bad practice to rely on test order. If you can avoid it, do so;
        otherwise this plugin is for you.
        
        INSTALLATION
        
        From PyPI: pip install nose_order_plugin
        From source: setup.py install
        
        USAGE
        
        - Mark the test class with the nose_order_plugin.ordered decorator
        - Pass the --with-ordered-tests option to Nose
        
        CAVEATS
        
        - Only plain classes may be ordered. Classes deriving from unittest.TestCase
          are incompatible with this plugin.
        - The plugin looks at source code lines for ordering; if the methods are not
          defined in a single file (or other magic is used), the ordering might not be
          precise.
        - Test generators are not supported -- they might work, but they're untested.
