4Welcome to pytest-2.0.2, a maintenance and bug fix release of pytest,
5a mature testing tool for Python, supporting CPython 2.4-3.2, Jython
6and latest PyPy interpreters.  See the extensive docs with tested examples here:

23Changes between 2.0.1 and 2.0.2
24----------------------------------------------
25
26- tackle issue32 - speed up test runs of very quick test functions
27  by reducing the relative overhead
28
29- fix issue30 - extended xfail/skipif handling and improved reporting.
30  If you have a syntax error in your skip/xfail
31  expressions you now get nice error reports.
32
33  Also you can now access module globals from xfail/skipif
34  expressions so that this for example works now::
35
36    import pytest
37    import mymodule
38    @pytest.mark.skipif("mymodule.__version__[0] == "1")
39    def test_function():
40        pass
41
42  This will not run the test function if the module's version string
43  does not start with a "1".  Note that specifying a string instead
44  of a boolean expressions allows py.test to report meaningful information
45  when summarizing a test run as to what conditions lead to skipping
46  (or xfail-ing) tests.
47
48- fix issue28 - setup_method and pytest_generate_tests work together
49  The setup_method fixture method now gets called also for
50  test function invocations generated from the pytest_generate_tests
51  hook.
52
53- fix issue27 - collectonly and keyword-selection (-k) now work together
54  Also, if you do "py.test --collectonly -q" you now get a flat list
55  of test ids that you can use to paste to the py.test commandline
56  in order to execute a particular test.
57
58- fix issue25 avoid reported problems with --pdb and python3.2/encodings output
59
60- fix issue23 - tmpdir argument now works on Python3.2 and WindowsXP
61  Starting with Python3.2 os.symlink may be supported. By requiring
62  a newer py lib version the py.path.local() implementation acknowledges
63  this.
64
65- fixed typos in the docs (thanks Victor Garcia, Brianna Laugher) and particular
66  thanks to Laura Creighton who also revieved parts of the documentation.
67
68- fix slighly wrong output of verbose progress reporting for classes
69  (thanks Amaury)
70
71- more precise (avoiding of) deprecation warnings for node.Class|Function accesses
72
73- avoid std unittest assertion helper code in tracebacks (thanks Ronny)
