This is a compatibility fixing release of pylib/py.test to work better with previous 1.0.x test code bases. It also contains fixes and changes to work with execnet>=1.0.0 to provide distributed testing and looponfailing testing modes. py-1.1.1 also introduces a new mechanism for registering plugins via setuptools.
py.test is an advanced automated testing tool working with Python2, Python3 and Jython versions on all major operating systems. It has an extensive plugin architecture and can run many existing common Python test suites without modification. Moreover, it offers some unique features not found in other testing tools. See http://pytest.org for more info.
The pylib also contains a localpath and svnpath implementation and some developer-oriented command line tools. See http://pylib.org for more info.
