        Introduction
        ------------
        
        Run the nose_ test discovery and execution tool whenever a source file
        is changed.
        
        An elaborated version of Jeff Winkler's ``nosy`` tool that runs nose
        whenever a source file is changed.  This version has a command line
        parser added, and the capability to use a configuration file to
        control what files are watched, and how nose runs.

        Synopsis
        --------
        
          $ nosy -h
        
          Usage: nosy [options]
        
          Automatically run nose whenever source files change.
        
          Options:
            -h, --help            show this help message and exit
            -c CONFIG_FILE, --config=CONFIG_FILE
                                  configuration file path and name; defaults to
                                  setup.cfg
        
        
        Configuration File
        ------------------
        
        Configuration file section contents example::
        
          [nosy]
          # Paths to check for changed files; changes cause nose to be run
          base_path = ./
          glob_patterns = *.py
          exclude_patterns = *_flymake.*
          extra_paths = sample.cfg
          # Command line options to pass to nose
          options = -x
          # Command line arguments to pass to nose; e.g. part of test suite to run
          tests = tests/unit_tests.py
        
        Configuration file is read by a Python standard library ConfigParser
        object, so:
        
          * Lines beginning with "#" or ";" are ignored and may be used to
            provide comments.
          * Entries can be in the form "name: value" or "name=value", with
            continuations in the style of RFC 822.
          * Leading whitespace is removed from values.
          * Format string substitution in values is supported.
        
        Within the `[nosy]` section 6 options may be specified:
        
          * `base_path` - The directory in which to start walking the tree to
            check for changed files. Defaults to `.`.
        
          * `glob_patterns` - A whitespace separated list of shell glob
            patterns to check for changes. Defaults to `*.py`.
        
          * `exclude_patterns` - A whitespace separated list of shell glob
            patterns to exclude when checking for changes. Defaults to `''`.
        
          * `extra_paths` - A whitespace separated list of shell glob patterns
            to add to the paths that are checked for changes. Defaults to
            `''`.
        
          * `options` - A string of options to be passed through to nose when
            it is executed.
        
          * `tests` - A string of command line arguments to be passed through
            to nose when it is executed.  Useful for specifying part of the
            test suite to run.
        
        Including the configuration file in the watched paths allows you to
        change nose's behaviour on the fly.
