autonose dies when using custom exception class

My code in test_fail.py

class SomeError(Exception):
    pass

def foo():
    raise SomeError()

def test_foo():
    foo()

When I invoke autonose --debug:

It looks like something is trying to unpickle the exception object from inside test_fail.py. However, it cannot import it probably because its not on sys.path, but rather in the local directory.
