[pytest-dev] no self-awareness for pytest

[Jason King]

Hi, I'm most of the way through a conversion of matplotlib to using
pytest instead of nose, and I'm having a problem.
PR is here https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/5405

Th is is the error text I'm getting:

So it seems to be locating a function called 'test' in numpy's 
nosetester.py file, thats in the virtualenv, and trying to set
it up as a test.  Which isn't what I want.  (I only want tests located 
in matplotlib's install directory)

I've tried specifying "numpy" in tox.ini's [pytest] norecursedir option, 
but pytest seems to be ignoring that.  Also tried
using '--ignore=site-packages/numpy/testing/.' as a string in the list 
that is given to pytest.main().  and last, as a joke,
tried creating a fixture called 'self'  but it seemed to ignore that too.

Does anyone know how to make pytest self-aware so it can take on skynet.
