Consider Moving Away From `nose` #650

nose hasn't had a release since 2015 and upstream does not accept patches. This has lead to its forking and/or removal by distros such as Gentoo:

Nosetests have been abandoned in 2015. Upstream (while technically still around) has refused to accept any patches since, and we have already had to fork it, to keep it somewhat working. All the remaining reverse dependencies were finally ported or last rited. Removal on 2024-03-29. Bug #822414.

This has caused packages such as rmlint to be removed from the default repo as well, which is a shame.

Possible alternatives are pytest or nose2.
