Do you ever bother to investigate anything before posing a question?  I 
know nothing about nose, but when I see output telling me that precisely 
nothing has been run, I'd hazard a guess that stupid_error has to be 
called test_stupid_error or similar.  I'll leave you to check the nose 
docs to confirm whether or not my guess is correct.
