+Tests
+=====
+
+To run nipy's tests, you will need to install the nose_ Python testing
+package.  Then::
+
+    python -c "import nipy; nipy.test()"
+
+You can also run nipy's tests with the ``nipnost`` script in the ``tools``
+directory of the nipy distribution::
+
+    ./tools/nipnost nipy
+
+``nipnost`` is a thin wrapper around the standard ``nosetests`` program that
+is part of the nose package.  Try ``nipnost --help`` to see a large number of
+command-line options.
