This expects a unittest loader which py.test doesn't provide (yet).  Your [2] also 
has some critical comments btw - and in general i think the current 
"test-during-setup/install-time" needs more thought.  I'd rather fancy a 
mechanism to run a script with some developer-defined arguments 
and to allow specification of "packages needed for testing". 

On a practical note, did you try out the solution i sketched?
It basically implements exactly that in few lines of code
with the current setuptools/distribute infrastructure. 

If anybody wants to chime in - feel free to :)
