	That was exactly my thinking. The reason why I picked pytest is that nose 1.x is abandoned, nose 2.x converges with pytest (and the page recommends pytest), and raw unittest requires a lot of complexity. Another plus of pytest is that it has an extensible plugin framework.
	It’s really unfortunate that we don’t have better package integration in buildworld. It would make building and installing tests a lot easier.
