defer to stdlib for path.get_home_dir()...
defer to stdlib for path.get_home_dir() We have elaborate and fragile logic for determining home dir, and it is ultimately less reliable than the stdlib behavior used for `os.path.expanduser('~')`. This commit defers to that in all cases other than a bundled Python in py2exe/py2app environments. The one case where the default guess will *not* be correct, based on inline comments, is on WinHPC, where all paths must be UNC (`\\foo`), and thus HOMESHARE is the logical first choice. However, HOMESHARE is the wrong answer in approximately all other cases where it is defined, and the fix for WinHPC users is the trivial `HOME=%HOMESHARE%`. This removes the various tests of our Windows path resolution logic, which are no longer relevant. Further, $HOME is used by the stdlib as first priority on *all* platforms, so tests for this behavior are no longer posix-specific. closes gh-970 closes gh-747

=======================================================
Nose plugin with IPython and extension module support
=======================================================

This directory provides the key functionality for test support that IPython
needs as a nose plugin, which can be installed for use in projects other than
IPython.

The presence of a Makefile here is mostly for development and debugging
purposes as it only provides a few shorthand commands. You can manually
install the plugin by using standard Python procedures (``setup.py install``
with appropriate arguments).

To install the plugin using the Makefile, edit its first line to reflect where
you'd like the installation. If you want it system-wide, you may want to edit
the install line in the plugin target to use sudo and no prefix::

sudo python setup.py install

instead of the code using `--prefix` that's in there.

Once you've set the prefix, simply build/install the plugin with::

make

and run the tests with::

make test

You should see output similar to::

maqroll[plugin]> make test
nosetests -s --with-ipdoctest --doctest-tests dtexample.py
