I have the same issue.  I run a subset of the tempest tests via nose on a 
RHEL 6.4 VM directly against the site-packages (not using virtualenv). I'm 
running on x86_64, ppc64 and s390x and have different issues on all of 
them (a mix of DB2 on x86_64 and MySQL on the others, and different 
nova/cinder drivers on each).  What I had to do was just make a nose.cfg 
for each of them and throw that into ~/ for each run of the suite.

The switch from nose to testr hasn't impacted me because I'm not using a 
venv.  However, there was a change this week that broke me on python 2.6 
and I opened this bug:

Subject:        [openstack-dev] Skipping tests in tempest via config file



Hi,

I proposed a change to tempest that skips tests based on a config file
directive [1].  Reviews were inconclusive and it was requested the
idea be discussed more widely.

Of course issues should go upstream first.  However, sometimes test
failures are triaged to a local/platform problem and it is preferable
to keep everything else running by skipping the problematic tests
while its being worked on.

My perspective is one of running tempest in a mixed CI environment
with RHEL, Fedora, etc.  Python 2.6 on RHEL doesn't support testr (it
doesn't do the setUpClass calls required by temptest) and nose
upstream has some quirks that make it hard to work with the tempest
test layout [2].

Having a common place in the temptest config to set these skips is
more convienent than having to deal with the multiple testing
environments.

Another proposal is to have a separate JSON file of skipped tests.  I
don't feel strongly but it does seem like another config file.
