I've seen some discussions, haven't played much with it myself yet. 
Googled a bit and came up with the below patch to one of my 
(non-py) packages.  With it I could successfully do:

    python setup.py test # will run "py.test" 

and it would also take care to temporarily install "py" just for the 
testing and not as a general dependency.  Happy to hear if this works
for you and others as well. 

cheers,
holger
