What exactly do you mean here? Like doctests in cython or C modules?

Good point, I created an issue for it:

it uses the py.test like syntax, e.g.

./test IPython/tests/test_magic.py
./test IPython/tests/test_magic.py -k test_obj_del

Nice idea, added to the issue above.

Nice idea, added to the issue.

Yep, it uses post mortem debugging if --pdb is specified, if this is
what you mean.
