1. mark is not there, indeed.  We could do a plugin
   that provides py.test.mark - as it was undocumented 
   and not much advertised yet so i didn't think there 
   would be users :) 

2. py.test.xfail does not take arguments anymore - 
   see http://tinyurl.com/nxqta2 
   I basically stripped the py.test.xfail decorator to the bare 
   minimum of marking a function as expected-to-fail. 
   do you have a need for it to take a message argument?

Hum, this happens in an interactive session because plugins
are not activated and there is no py.test.xfail entry.  
If you issue

>>> py.test.config.parse([])
>>> py.test.config.pluginmanager.do_configure(py.test.config)

the default plugins will be activated and py.test.xfail
becomes visible.  Would you like this incantation to live in
a "py.test.init()" helper?!

with the above "interactive" caveat, though.
