nose.tools auto-creates these names from the names in unittest, with 
this code: 
https://github.com/nose-devs/nose/blob/master/nose/tools/trivial.py#L46

You don't have assert_raises_regexp because your unittest module doesn't 
have assertRaisesRegexp.  That method is new in 2.7, but you are using 
2.6.5, so it doesn't exist.
