py.test/pylib 1.1.0: Python3, Jython, advanced skipping, cleanups ...
*********************************************************************

Features:

* compatible to Python3 (single py2/py3 source), easy to install

* conditional skipping: skip/xfail based on platform/dependencies

* generalized marking: mark tests one a whole-class or whole-module
  basis

Fixes:

* code reduction and "de-magification" (e.g. 23 KLoc -> 11 KLOC)

* distribute testing requires the now separately released execnet
  package

* funcarg-setup/caching, "same-name" test modules now cause an exlicit
  error

* de-cluttered reporting options, --report for skipped/xfail details

Compatibilities

1.1.0 should allow running test code that already worked well with
1.0.2 plus some more due to improved unittest/nose compatibility.

thanks and have fun,

Changelog 1.0.2 -> 1.1.0
************************

* remove py.rest tool and internal namespace - it was never really
  advertised and can still be used with the old release if needed.  If
  there is interest it could be revived into its own tool i guess.

* fix issue48 and issue59: raise an Error if the module from an
  imported test file does not seem to come from the filepath - avoids
  "same-name" confusion that has been reported repeatedly

* merged Ronny's nose-compatibility hacks: now nose-style
  setup_module() and setup() functions are supported

* introduce generalized py.test.mark function marking

* reshuffle / refine command line grouping

* deprecate parser.addgroup in favour of getgroup which creates option
  group

* add --report command line option that allows to control showing of
  skipped/xfailed sections

* generalized skipping: a new way to mark python functions with skipif
  or xfail at function, class and modules level based on platform or
  sys-module attributes.

* extend py.test.mark decorator to allow for positional args

* introduce and test "py.cleanup -d" to remove empty directories

* fix issue #59 - robustify unittest test collection

* make bpython/help interaction work by adding an __all__ attribute to
  ApiModule, cleanup initpkg

* use MIT license for pylib, add some contributors

* remove py.execnet code and substitute all usages with 'execnet'
  proper

* fix issue50 - cached_setup now caches more to expectations for test
  functions with multiple arguments.

* merge Jarko's fixes, issue #45 and #46

* add the ability to specify a path for py.lookup to search in

* fix a funcarg cached_setup bug probably only occuring in distributed
  testing and "module" scope with teardown.

* many fixes and changes for making the code base python3 compatible,
  many thanks to Benjamin Peterson for helping with this.

* consolidate builtins implementation to be compatible with >=2.3, add
  helpers to ease keeping 2 and 3k compatible code

* deprecate py.compat.doctest|subprocess|textwrap|optparse

* deprecate py.magic.autopath, remove py/magic directory

* move pytest assertion handling to py/code and a pytest_assertion
  plugin, add "--no-assert" option, deprecate py.magic namespaces in
  favour of (less) py.code ones.

* consolidate and cleanup py/code classes and files

* cleanup py/misc, move tests to bin-for-dist

* introduce delattr/delitem/delenv methods to py.test's monkeypatch
  funcarg

* consolidate py.log implementation, remove old approach.

* introduce py.io.TextIO and py.io.BytesIO for distinguishing between
  text/unicode and byte-streams (uses underlying standard lib io.* if
  available)

* make py.unittest_convert helper script available which converts
  "unittest.py" style files into the simpler assert/direct-test-
  classes py.test/nosetests style.  The script was written by Laura
  Creighton.

* simplified internal localpath implementation
