A nose plugin that can detect tests making external http calls. Example output:
$ nosetests -v --with-detecthttp myapp/
test_that_makes_request ... ok
test_with_no_request ... ok

FAIL: Tests made external http calls

test_that_makes_request:

Ran 2 tests in 0.001s
FAILED (failures=1)Under the hood, this wraps every test in a separate VCR.py cassette. Since VCR.py's hooks are in the stdlib, this approach won't detect requests made with clients like PycURL.
