Comment (by Pavel Savchenko):

 As for other test runners, here's now nose2 invokes a debugger (IIRC
 pytest does something similar):
 https://github.com/nose-
 devs/nose2/blob/master/nose2/plugins/debugger.py#L41-L60

 This means that the `post_mortem` is invoked only after the exception was
 already caught in `SimpleTestCase.__call__` and, for example, the database
 was already rolled back. The test frameworks simple have no real way to
 examine the state of the application at the time of the error (but only
 "after", when it may be too late).
