I noticed that upstream is now at 1.1.29 where our package is 1.1.18, so I started by freshening the packaging repo to build 1.1.29. Ironically, the build fails in the test suite with a probably easy to fix error that I just don't have time to work on today. I note that tox.ini in the upstream source seems to imply either pytest or nose can be used, but I'm not familiar enough with python test suites to immediately know if this is just left-over boilerplate, or if moving to pytest would be as simple as changing the tox.ini content? If someone else who understands python test suites better than I do has time to patch rocketcea to use a supported test suite and get 1.1.29 to build to completion, I'd love to have that help.
