Comment 2 for bug 1251507

Hi!

I gave specific instructions in your bug on nova, but I think for the record I'll respond here too. Your request is a valid one, and I totally agree that the testsuite should run outside of tox. However, we use testr to run tests, not nosetests or py.test. I'm happy to go into the details of that decision, but suffice it to say, simply running testr will run the tests against system installed dependencies and neither tox nor pip nor the internet will be affected.

Thanks for your work on gentoo!
