[Neuroimaging] advice on choosing a testing library

[Satrajit Ghosh]

thank you folks.

is there a particular reason why the standard python unittest library is
not being used? it seems from the documentation that the two are quite
similar.

https://docs.python.org/dev/library/unittest.html#basic-example

if everyone is using py.test now, we can start moving towards it.

cheers,

satra
