No strong opinions about the coverage testing (is there an obstacle to just running the unmodified test suite?) but this looks good to me; upstream doesn’t mention nose at all any more. I wonder how many totally unused Python dependencies we have in tree…

There's no obstacle(afaik) to running it besides adding the pytest-cov dependency to nativeCheckInputs, it's just not useful to run them in Nix checks.

I’d personally be willing to spend a build dependency and some CPU cycles to avoid the churn of a patch that might rot and block updates, but you’re right that it is kind of pointless to run. I’ll leave it to the maintainer’s discretion :)

It is guidance by the python people that pytest-cov (like all other linters and the like) is not to be used and be patched our or now be replaced with pytest-cov-stub.
