[Matplotlib-devel] our tests

[Eric Firing]

Does anyone know why:

1) In our Travis suite, the USE_PYTEST run takes much longer than the 
others.

2) On master (approximately), when I try to run a single function with 
py.test, it isn't found.  Example:

py.test lib/matplotlib/tests/test_axes.py::test_hist_steplog

in any of [<Module 'lib/matplotlib/tests/test_axes.py'>])

3) Also on master, I get errors with tests.py.  Example:

python tests.py lib/matplotlib/tests/test_axes.py
