+This is an experimental plugin for allowing to run tests written
+in 'nosetests' style with ``pytest``.
+
+Usage
+-------------
+
+type::
+
+ py.test # instead of 'nosetests'
+
+and you should be able to run nose style tests and at the same
+time can make full use of pytest's capabilities.
+
+Supported nose Idioms
+----------------------
+
+* setup and teardown at module/class/method level
+* SkipTest exceptions and markers
+* setup/teardown decorators
+* yield-based tests and their setup
+* general usage of nose utilities
+
+Unsupported idioms / issues

+- nose-style doctests are not collected and executed correctly,
+ also fixtures don't work.
+
+- no nose-configuration is recognized
+
+If you find other issues or have suggestions please run::
+
+ py.test --pastebin=all
+
+and send the resulting URL to a ``pytest`` contact channel,
+at best to the mailing list.
