Would collection hooks help you here? Eg: skip/filter files that aren't part of matplotlib.

I followed your suggestion, and made a plugin that didn't allow files that had 'numpy' in its path,
but the plugin never activated on such a file.

so I think I've tracked down whats causing the problem I was experiencing:

just to recap, I was getting an error of this (twice)

_________ __ ERROR at setup of test ____________________________

file /home/travis/build/matplotlib/matplotlib/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/testing/nosetester.py, line 249

def test(self, label='fast', verbose=1, extra_argv=None, doctests=False,

fixture 'self' not found

available fixtures: tmpdir_factory, pytestconfig, cov, cache, recwarn, monkeypatch, record_xml_property, capfd, capsys, tmpdir

use 'py.test --fixtures [testpath]' for help on them.

/hom e/travis/ build/matplotlib/matplotlib/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/testing/nosetester.py:249

as it turns out, there were two files that was causing the error, and the line that seems to be doing it is..

from pylab import *

yup, a import statement was doing it. only reason I found it was because of the instafail plugin (5 tests after a stack trace of a failing test, the pytest error appeared)

Is it possible to have pytest print out the name of the test that its about to do , with the result , instead of ".....E.xsss..." etc?
That would make weird occurrences/errors easier to find in future.
