a recent upgrade has borked it; core.py contains Python 2 style print statements,
the version is : 1.3.7-11.17-noarch from the main tumbleweed repo
(I am not sure this is the right forum to report or get support for such issues, btw)
Would be good if you can provide a more information, guessing makes solving things not faster.
So can you paste, Using Code Tags Around Your Paste, the command you issue and the complete error message?
For me, no problem on Tumbleweed:
> sudo zypper info python38-nose
Information for package python38-nose:

OK
Do you update with:
zypper dup
for me:
Informatie voor pakket python38-nose:
-------------------------------------

Status : actueel
Broncodepakket : python-nose-1.3.7-11.17.src

I think the installed matches the following file: http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/noarch/python38-nose-1.3.7-11.17.noarch.rpm
nosetests
gives the following output:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I have been updating with the package update applet
(currently zypper dup does not want to update the python38-nose package)
For me:
> grep "%s version %s" /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/nose/core.py
print("%s version %s" % (os.path.basename(sys.argv[0]), __version__)

So your code is 4 years older, the fix is to update, see also the post from @Sauerland
well, the difference is that you are pulling from the devel:language: python repo while I am on the (default) repo-oss repo, so why has this reverted to this old version? (I have used this before w/o problem)
and how does python 2 code end up in a package with the name python38-… ??
Good observation, yes I have the devel:language:python repo enabled while you have the package from the (default) repo-oss repo,
The details of the package look fine, see http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/noarch/python38-nose-1.3.7-11.17.noarch.rpm.mirrorlist
You now know a work-around, to have the problem fixed for the (default) repo-oss repo I think it is best to create an issue at https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/
thanks, I filed the bug report…
