Open Stack

This isn’t an officially supported method, but i tend to use:

python -m nova.openstack.common.lockutils nosetests <test>

for example:

python -m nova.openstack.common.lockutils nosetests nova.tests.integrated.test_api_samples:CloudPipeSampleJsonTest.test_cloud_pipe_create

I think this is a little bit less flexible than testtools run but old habits.
