I was just running into this yesterday and had actually pulled the  
code for the one thing I use trial for ( the emacs line @ the top of  
the file to specify unit tests) out to make a nose plug-in since nose  
allows lists of tests to be put into config files.

I'd love to have another way as I will need Trial for the Twisted part  
of my code later.

Thanks,

S
