By default, coverage does not measure code installed with the Python interpreter.
If you want to measure that code as well as your own, add the -L flag.
+If your coverage results seems to be overlooking code that you know has been
+executed, try running coverage again with the --timid flag. This uses a simpler
+but slower trace method. Projects that use DecoratorTools, including TurboGears,
+will need to use --timid to get correct results. This option can also be set
+with the environment variable COVERAGE_OPTIONS set to '--timid'.
