nosetests.exe calling setup_class() but pycharm unit tests aren't

I'm trying to port SqlSoup to python 3. I'm using PyCharm as my IDE and I want to run the unit tests.

If I run the unit tests in pycharm I get the following output:

C:\bin\python\python.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition 4.0.3\helpers\pycharm\utrunner.py" C:\Users\jdearing\Documents\deleteme\sqlsoup\tests\test_sqlsoup.py true
Testing started at 12:53 PM ...

Error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\jdearing\Documents\deleteme\sqlsoup\tests\test_sqlsoup.py", line 25, in setUp
    engine.execute(sql)
NameError: name 'engine' is not defined

However, if I run the tests from the command line, everything works great:

C:\Users\jdearing\Documents\deleteme\sqlsoup>c:\bin\python\Scripts\nosetests-3.4.exe tests\test_sqlsoup.py
.............................
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 29 tests in 0.549s

OK

What is comes down to is that this method never gets called:

    @classmethod
    def setup_class(cls):
        global engine
        engine = create_engine('sqlite://', echo=True)
        for sql in _ddl:
            engine.execute(sql)

Yes, that's a global variable, I'll improve the unit tests after I get them running.

Pycharm asked me to install nose to satisfy the dependency, so I would assume its test runner is using that module and not a different one. Why is it giving different results?

As far as I know for nose, the setup has to be the following format for nose to pickup and run at the start of the test class:

@classmethod 
def setUpClass(cls):
    global engine
    ...
