use Popen instead of getstatusoutput to check for libedit. getstatusoutput uses os.popen, and is vulnerable to EINTR weirdness in environments such as gdb or PyQt. Exponential falloff is also used, to prevent waiting forever or firing requests too fast, though I haven't had it fire more than once after moving to Popen. closes gh-473

=======================================================
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
