Like you, I used nose and then switched to pytest. The reason I proposed this for unittest is because pytest and nose and (I think) most of the other testing frameworks inherit from unittest, so improving unittest has downstream benefits. I may nevertheless propose this to the pytest people if this doesn't make it into unittest.
