NoseTest unable find module

Question

I'm unable to run nosetests on my tests, because of module import errors.

I am running inside of a virtualenv with global site packages enabled.

I can successfuly run the tests from the IDE (pycharm). I can also import the module directly from cli. I can also (not shown) run a python script tht imports the troublesome module.

I assume this is a path issue, but haven't been able to discover the root cause. I have also toggled no-path-adjustsment in .noserc to no avail.

Try running nosetest --pdb . It will bring up pdb debugger on error. Look at sys.path for abnormalities.
