Nosetests parallelization

[danwiesenthal]

We just set up our testing suite to run with, simply, ‘nosetests’. (or ’nosetests —with-xunit’) It runs locally just fine, and seems to do fine with that command on both Codeship and CircleCI as well (we’re evaluating both Codeship and CircleCI). We were looking forward to automatic parallelization of tests on CircleCI as described here [https://circleci.com/blog/announcing-automatic-test-balancing/ https://circleci.com/blog/announcing-automatic-test-balancing/], and were somewhat disappointed that the automatic detection/parallelization didn’t work for us. What we would like to accomplish is parallelized testing on CircleCI using nosetests. Can this be done? If so, how? We looked into the documentation here [https://circleci.com/docs/test-metadata/#python https://circleci.com/docs/test-metadata/#python] and while there are instructions for Django and django-nose, we’re using Flask and vanilla nosetests. Thanks!
