title: Timeout on tests with nosetests
body: <p>I'm setting up my nosetests environment but can't seem to get the timeout to work properly. I would like to have an <code>x</code> second (say 2) timeout on each test discovered by nose. </p>
  
  <p>I tried the following:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>nosetests --processes=-1 --process-timeout=2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works just fine but I noticed the following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Parallel testing takes longer for a few simple testcases</li>
  <li>Nose does not report back when a test has timed out (and thus failed)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how I can get such a timeout to work? I would prefer it to work without parallel testing but this would not be an issue as long as I get the feedback that a test has timed out.</p>
