[Baypiggies] test method decorators

[Shannon -jj Behrens]

Thanks for the talk, Collin!

Somewhat orthogonal:

By the way, to answer someone's related question yesterday, Nose knows
how to do module-level setup and tear down.  I think it's as easy as
writing a "setup" and a "teardown" method at the module level.
Naturally, class-level is also possible.

Happy Hacking!
