nosetests -- this should get installed by default with pylons. Sorry for 
the confusion this might have caused. I've made this move away from 
py.test to nosetests on these newer projects because:

a) nosetests is compatible with py.test (i.e. all tests that run with 
one run with the other)

b) nosetests will also run unittest.TestCase tests

c) it is installed by default with pylons and hooks in more nicely to 
the framework (e.g. automated test running from setup.py hooks).

In the long run we'll move to nosetests on everything else -- it should 
be almost costless because of (a).
