[PATCH 0/6] Pytest update

[Leo Famulari]

The latest version of python-cryptography requires python-pytest >= 2.9 
[0]. So, this patch series updates pytest, and fixes the breakage I was 
able to find.

I tested most of the packages that use pytest, but not all of the 
scientific / statistical computing packages, because they take forever
to build. This is how I found the issues with virtualenv, pip, and 
scripttest.

This release of pytest exits with an error if it can't find a test suite
to run. So, we disable the check phases of virtualenv, pip, and 
scripttest, because their test suites are not distributed via PyPi. If
we want to run their test suites, we should package a source code
snapshot instead of building from the release tarballs.

Pytest-runner must be updated to use the new pytest.

"Building the following 77 packages would ensure 210 dependent packages
are rebuilt"...
