Title: Trivial: Workaround for a obscure nosetests bug.

See http://code.google.com/p/python-nose/issues/detail?id=411.

Basically, this issue in nose (in versions <= 1.0.0) prevents you from using the -a
option (attributes) if your test class has @staticmethods.

Doing something like from the shell will cause the error:
`$ nosetests -a slow tests/`
