The pytest testing tool makes it easy to write small tests, yet scales to support complex functional testing. It provides

• auto-discovery of test modules and functions,

• detailed info on failing assert statements (no need to remember self.assert* names)

• modular fixtures for managing small or parametrized long-lived test resources.

• multi-paradigm support: you can use pytest to run test suites based on unittest (or trial), nose

• single-source compatibility from Python2.6 all the way up to Python3.4, PyPy-2.3, (jython-2.5 untested)

• many external plugins.

A simple example for a test:

# content of test_module.py
def test_function():
    i = 4
    assert i == 3

which can be run with py.test test_module.py. See getting-started for more examples.
