py.test 2.1.2: bug fixes and fixes for jython

pytest-2.1.2 is a minor backward compatible maintenance release of the popular py.test testing tool. pytest is commonly used for unit, functional- and integration testing. See extensive docs with examples here:

Most bug fixes address remaining issues with the perfected assertions introduced in the 2.1 series - many thanks to the bug reporters and to Benjamin Peterson for helping to fix them. pytest should also work better with Jython-2.5.1 (and Jython trunk).

If you want to install or upgrade pytest, just type one of:

pip install -U pytest # or
easy_install -U pytest
