I finished the comparison of py.test and nose. Links to the detailed 
results and code are at the end of this email.

Comments and/or suggestions would be appreciated. Let the discussion 
commence!

Executive Summary:
After a detailed comparison of the two tools, I think that py.test would 
be the better choice for a test tool for AutoQA.

Py.test has better documentation, more detailed output on test failure, 
more customizability without resorting to custom plugins and better 
support for test isolation.

While we would not be able to leverage as much local experience with 
py.test, better documentation should lead us towards finding solutions 
in that documentation instead of having to rely on the experience of 
others to find those solutions.

NOTE: I didn't see a point in merging this to the fedorahosted repo 
since its just a proof of concept. This can be done if desired, though.
