As far as I understand it doesn't affect our movement under big tent.

Honestly I have no idea how py.test caused a dependency hell. It
almost doesn't have any dependencies:

* py
* colorama for windows
* argparse for python 2.6 and 3.0

So the only possible intersection with global-requirements may is a
'py' package. Well, I checked and I didn't find 'py' package in there.

Summarizing, let's be practical - using py.test is convenient. It has
beautiful reports out-of-box, could be extended with a lot of
available plugins and so on. I'd prefer to keep it.

Thanks,
Igor
