1.18.23: test suite uses outdated `nose` module

nose is no longer maintained since 2016 https://github.com/nose-devs/nose/ Generally speaking nose is for python 2.x. I would recommend switch completely to pytest https://docs.nose2.io/en/latest/differences.html

Hi @kloczek,

Thanks. This is on our radar to switch completely to pytest. We’ll update here on the status of that work.

Related to https://github.com/boto/botocore/issues/2458 as well and will probably come out together.

Hi @kloczek, thanks for checking in. We actually did the work for this quite some time ago, and it’s currently on the pytest_migration branches in the respective repositories. The primary hold up is related to some requirements outside of these code bases in our release process. We’re currently working to get that unblocked and will provide updates when we’re ready to finalize the migration.
