rspec looks like this:

   describe Testing do
     it 'looks easy' do
       (1+1).should == 2
     end
   end

nose looks like this:

   def test_testing_looks_hard():
       assert 1+1 == 2
       yield nose.tools.assert_equals, 1+1, 2

The thing is, you're either using the assert statement or a really
long yield. I prefer the semantics of yield, but it's horribly
verbose.
