Your best bet would be to disable the plugin and capture standard output with some other means, for example as described here:
import sys
import nose
from cStringIO import StringIO
def basic_test():
print "hello"
if __name__=="__main__":
module_name = sys.modules[__name__].__file__
old_stdout = sys.stdout
sys.stdout = mystdout = StringIO()
result = nose.run(argv=[sys.argv[0],
module_name,
'-s'])
sys.stdout = old_stdout
print mystdout.getvalue()
When running it like this you will get:
.
