[SciPy-dev] [OT] Skipping a function wronlgy identified by nose

Hi,

Probably you want:

from numpy.testing import dec

@dec.setastest(False)
def function_that_tests():
   pass

If you don't want to import the decorator, just

def function_that_tests():
    pass
function_that_tests.__test__ = False

?
