From https://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/:

Nose has been in maintenance mode for the past several years and will likely cease without a new person/team to take over maintainership. New projects should consider using Nose2, py.test, or just plain unittest/unittest2.

Unless there is a strong requirement for Nose features, may I suggest converting the tests to the standard Python unittest library?
