nosetests errors when encountering special module-level function with annotations

Example:

def setup_module() -> None:
    pass

It happens for setup_module() and teardown_module() but not e.g. test_something().

To repro:

$ python --version; nosetests -V
Python 3.7.3
nosetests version 1.3.7
$ echo "def setup_module() -> None: pass" > nose_test.py
$ nosetests nose_test.py

which gives the following stacktrace (path information stripped):

ERROR: test suite for <module 'test.nose_test' from '/tmp/nose_test.py'>

Comes from nose.util:try_run. I'm not sure what I'd suggest doing about it while supporting Python 2.
