pydb output vanishes when running nosetests doctests

[jcervidae]

Hi Pythonistas:

When pydb.debugger() is launched from within my code or for some other
reason pydb starts from inside a nosetests or doctest, I do not see
any output from it. It appears the test has hung but it hasn't. If I
type commands pydb obeys them I just can't see the results. How can I
stop this? It means I have to make minor little programs to re-create
problems the tests were designed to catch in order to debug.

Use the "-s"-option which prevents nose from capturing the stdout and not
printing it immediately.
