pytest is a mature, full-featured Python testing tool that allows you to easily write small tests, while also being able to scale to support complex functional testing for applications and libraries. pytest has detailed information on failing assert statements, which means there’s no need to remember self.assert names. It uses only plain assert statements due to its detailed assertion introspection.

pytest features auto-discovery of test modules and functions; modular fixtures made for small or parametrized long-lived test resources; and a rich plugin architecture of more than 850 external plugins. pytest can immediately run unittest and nose tests suites as well.
