Subject: [PATCH] Merge pull request #2076 from fperez/exclude-static-tests

Skip notebook 'static' dir in test suite.

There's nothing there we should be running python tests on, and
occasionally python files may appear there that cause problems to nose
(e.g. mathjax ships a non-py3 valid conf.py that breaks py3 testing).

Closes #2075
