I am not familiar with pytest, but suspected it may have some solutions for
this problem. I thought that you might know if this is the case.

I've used pytest quite a bit and I like it better than nose. With pytest you
can create a conftest.py file which can setup exclusions programmatically (e.g.
based on the current sys.executable), which would help consolidate the
exclusions by moving them from the nosetests cli args currently in various
shell scripts and tox.ini, into the test code itself. It's possible to do this
with nose as well, but IIRC it takes a bit more boilerplate.
