How do I prevent Nose from running and reporting duplicate tests?

Question

I'm using django-nose to test our Django projects. It is common to split large test suites inside an application in Django like this:

myapp/
  __init__.py
  models.py
  tests/
    __init__.py
    test_views.py
    test_models.py
  views.py

tests/__init__.py would look like this:

from test_views import *
from test_models import *

Since Django will look for tests in myapp.tests, everything works as expected. Nose on the other hand will find the tests in tests_*.py and import them again in __init__.py. This results in the total number of tests reported being double what they should be.

Any ways around this problem (other than never using sub-modules) that will correctly report the tests with both django-nose and the default Django test runner?

Don't include the lines

from test_views import *
from test_models import *

in tests/__init__.py. What are those lines accomplishing?
