Make each run of python interpreter automatically call `coverage`?

Question

I have test.sh that runs python command on many different scripts. Is there a way to emit coverage -a for each python call without prepending each command with coverage -a?

@PeterWood Linux, but something tells me that aliasing won't really work well - note that coverage run nosetests doesn't work. — d33tah

"coverage run nosetests" doesn't work because "python nosetests" doesn't work. — Ned Batchelder

See the coverage.py docs about subprocess measurement for a way to invoke coverage automatically when starting Python: http://coverage.readthedocs.io/en/latest/subprocess.html . It will require some fiddling.

It might be easier to alias in the shell script. For things like "nosetests", change it to "python -m nose".
