611	Use pytest for running tests	jaraco@…	cmlenz	"I'm working on a branch to support a unified codebase for Python 2 and 3 (https://github.com/jaraco/genshi/tree/feature/py3-native). One problem I'm up against is the doctests failing thus:

{{{
File ""/Users/jaraco/Dropbox/code/public/genshi/genshi/util.py"", line 207, in genshi.util.stripentities
Failed example:
    stripentities('1 < 2 …', keepxmlentities=True)
Expected:
    u'1 < 2 …'
Got:
    '1 < 2 …'
}}}

Pytest has a solution for this (https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/doctest.html), a plugin for doctest that allows unicode to match even on Python 2 where the 'u' prefixes text strings.

Pytest also brings lots of nice features for test discovery, fixtures, and other nice features.

Could Genshi adopt pytest as its test runner?"	enhancement	new	major	0.8	General	0.7
