Heh, my reaction was both "huh?" and "yay" at the same time. I thought
unittest was still preferred for the stdlib testsuite? I don't particularly
see the benefits of unittest myself, although I admit it's a _tad_ cleaner
than most of the non-unittest scripts the stdlib had before. However, having
written a few tests with py.test, in particular test-generators, well,
unittest's just cumbersome ;-P

I'm not arguing for (or against) py.test, just wondering what the support
and opposition for changing the policy would be like ;-)
