I use py.test for testing embedded systems, and I find that I use generative tests a lot. Some means of running setup/teardown methods for _each_ test in a generative test would be very useful, I have a few ideas for syntax, but none for implementation.
Also I second the request for easy deployment of py.test, as I never use the other components of py.* there could even be a distribution with these removed.
