Mock and memory leak detector library. Right now this just features a plugin
for Nose 1.x and is in **beta**.

This plugin:
- Detects mocks that are not reset between tests.
- Detects mocks created during tests that are not deleted by the end of the test.
- Reports memory delta between tests. Optional.

To learn the story of the name, visit ``_.

Pull requests are welcome. In particular, area I'm looking to improve are:
- adding a pytest test runner
- improving memory delta reporting
