rspec looks like this:

    describe Testing do
      it 'looks easy' do
        (1+1).should == 2
      end
    end

nose looks like this:

    def test_testing_looks_hard():
        assert 1+1 == 2
        yield nose.tools.assert_equals, 1+1, 2

The thing is, you're either using the assert statement or a really
long yield. I prefer the semantics of yield, but it's horribly
verbose.
