When running the tests in mock, I get the following failure (also
already with 0.13.1):
ERROR: %pylab works on engines

When running iptest3 not inside of mock, anything is fine and I don't
know what the difference between those two runs is...

Do you have a suggestion/hint, where I could search for the error
instead of simply overcome this by skipping those two tests?
