It will show lines as covered when they are executed by the interpreter. Class statements, function definitions, etc. can show up as executed. Are you seeing other code show up as covered? <shameless_self_promotion> Recently I pushed a branch of an experimental project I am calling Barbarian[0]. It uses nose, figleaf and pylint to generate HTML for a project. A blog post with a more detailed description will be posted within a few days.
