Distributed version of nose differ from GitHub repository and is not Python 3.10 compatible

[fnordahl]

The distributed version of nose looks like this:

    def _set_tests(self, tests):
        self._precache = []
        is_suite = isinstance(tests, unittest.TestSuite)
        if isinstance(tests, collections.Callable) and not is_suite:

The same code in this repository is different:

nose/nose/suite.py

Lines 102 to 105 in 7c26ad1

	def _set_tests(self, tests):
	self._precache = []
	is_suite = isinstance(tests, unittest.TestSuite)
	if callable(tests) and not is_suite:

According to git history the above has not changed in 15 years.

As a consequence the distributed version is not Python 3.10 compatible, and I don't know how to contribute a fix because it is apparently already fixed.

Is there any plans for a new version that contains the correct code?

@fnordahl this project hasn't been maintained for many years. The last PR merged was 6 years ago, and I think the official stance even then was this was no longer maintained.

@datalogics-robb Can you recomment some alternatives?
