Yarick: Yes, I do actually see the value of the summary view.  When I have a parametric test that fails, I tend to just run nose with -x so it stops at the first error and with the --pdb options to study it, so I simply ignore all the other failures.  To me, test failures are quite often like compiler error messages: if there's a lot of them, it's best to look only at the first few, fix those and try again, because the rest could be coming from the same cause.

I don't know if Michael has plans/bandwidth to add the summary support as well, but I agree it would be very nice to have, just not at the expense of individual reporting.
