Open Stack

Hi Dmitry,

Thank you for bringing it up, it's not only about CI, it really takes
a lot of developers time to run Nailgun unit/integration tests on local
machine, and it's must have priority task in technical debt scope.

Personally I'm ok with py.test, but we should improve db creation mechanism
in your patch to use psycopg2 instead of running psql in subprocess.

Thanks,
