pytest-2.1.1 is a backward compatible maintenance release of the popular py.test testing tool. See extensive docs with examples here:
Most bug fixes address remaining issues with the perfected assertions introduced with 2.1.0 - many thanks to the bug reporters and to Benjamin Peterson for helping to fix them. Also, junitxml output now produces system-out/err tags which lead to better displays of tracebacks with Jenkins.
Also a quick note to package maintainers and others interested: there now is a “pytest” man page which can be generated with “make man” in doc/.
If you want to install or upgrade pytest, just type one of:
pip install -U pytest # or
easy_install -U pytest
