Nose provide additional testing functionalities that are not provided in unittests framework. Unlike unittests which is a standard python module you will have to easy_install nose as described here.
use test_mytest.py to name a test module and test_method to name any test methods. If you do so the nosetests will be able to discover and execute those tests automatically.
You will have to use assert_equal(A, B) to test whether A is equal to B.
For numpy arrays use numpy.testing.assert_array_equal instead to compare numpy arrays.
To test the unit tests you must call nosetests as follows.
To display the name of the test functions
To display the print statements as well
Execute a specific test function within a class in a test module

To display the name of the test functions
nosetests -v test.py
To display the print statements as well
nosetests -v -s test.py
Execute a specific test function within a class in a test module
nosetests -v -s test.py:className:test_method
