Nose plugins are extensions for the Nose testing framework in Python. They allow you to add custom functionality to your tests.

You typically need to implement methods like begin, stop, and addSuccess to handle the test lifecycle events.

How do I install and use my nose plugin?

You can install your plugin using pip and then run Nose with the --with-yourplugin option to enable it.
