doesn't work with python2.6, TypeError: unhashable type: 'ContextSuite'

[Elliot Murphy]

This is fixed upstream, in the 10.4 release.

http://code.google.com/p/python-nose/issues/detail?id=161

nosetests is pretty well unusable in jaunty due to this problem. I'm not sure whether it's preferable to apply for a freeze exception, or to try and extract just the patch for this.

Here is what I get when running nosetests in jaunty with python2.6 as the system python:

That's the entire 0.10.4 changelog:

0.10.4

- nose is now compatible with python 2.6.

Thus it makes a lot of sense to just update to that. I'll give it a test.

Works fine; 0.10.4 synced from Debian.
