This change was made so that the run_tests.sh script and tox would run
the same command to run tests. The "Running `...`" string doesn't
include "tools/with_venv.sh" which indicates the -N flag is working
properly. I think this means `python setup.py testr` is trying to
install python-subunit globally for some reason. Testrepository
depends on python-subunit, could this be a transitive requirement?

I have tried to reproduce this error with no luck; however, I do have
the latest version of testrepository installed out of pypi. Does
upgrading testrepository to the latest version help? Also, happy to
help debug this in #openstack-dev or #openstack-infra if real time
communication will help.
