The biggest and simplest one is that the test name that it prints is in the same format as the runner expects for specifying individual tests to run, so you can just copy and paste on the command line to run that one test. Genius. Also, since it uses directory names for tests and not module names, you can tab complete. The whole fixture concept is also great, since it gives you a new axis for test composability and reuse, instead of just complex sub-classing or copy-and-paste. After switching to pytest we went through our tests and replaced all of our horrible test mixins with fixtures and the end result is much more legible and maintainable. There's honestly nothing I miss about nose. -chad
