Unit testing with the nose: tests at compile time?

Question

Is it possible for the nose block testing platform to run tests during the module compilation phase?

In fact, I would like to check something with the following structure:

x = 123
# [x is used here...]
def test_x():
  assert (x == 123)
del x  # Deleted because I don't want to clutter the module with unnecessary attributes

nosetests tells me that x is undefined, since it apparently runs test_x () after importing the module. Is there a way to conduct a nose test during the compilation phase, and after releasing the module from unnecessary resources after use?
