[py-dev] towards 1.0 / code URLS using py.test?

[Tom Harris]

I use py.test for testing embedded systems, and I find that I use 
generative tests a lot. Some means of running setup/teardown methods for 
_each_ test in a generative test would be very useful, I have a few 
ideas for syntax, but none for implementation.

Also I second the request for easy deployment of py.test, as I never use 
the other components of py.* there could even be a distribution with 
these removed.
