This appears to be a nasty interaction between Python 3.5, nose and packages installed in .egg directories. What appears to be happening is that nose is trying to find a directory dipy when the actual directory is dipy-0.11.0.dev0-py3.5-win32.egg. This might only happen when trying to load doctests from extension modules (not sure). It does only happen when running through the dipnost.py script, and not directly through nosetests. Stripping the file down to this, still gave the error:

# vim: ft=python
""" ...
"""

import sys
import nose

argv = sys.argv + ['--with-doctest']
nose.core.TestProgram(argv=argv)

We're running the same thing on Python 3.4 and not getting an error : http://nipy.bic.berkeley.edu/builders/dipy-bdist32-34/builds/204/steps/shell_10/logs/stdio

So, I don't know why that would be true, but for the moment, I've changed the test to use a whl rather than an exe / easy_install install, and it seems to be running OK: http://nipy.bic.berkeley.edu/builders/dipy-bdist32-35/builds/37/steps/shell_11/logs/stdio

For my own reference, I used the suggestion here for debugging: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16200333/import-errors-when-running-nosetests-that-i-cant-reproduce-outside-of-nose

python dipnost.py dipy --debug=nose,nose.importer --debug-log=nose_debug
