unittests or nosetests

Would it be an option to use nosetets as testing environment?

Nose isn't being supported anymore. The leaders of that project have moved on to Nose2. I have also heard good things about PyTest. I tried using it just now, and it seems to be able to run the tests I set up already. I like unittest because it is part of the standard library, but we can switch if you want. We just need to add it to the setup.py module.

I just proposed as I had experience with it. What would be the potential benefits of using pytest instead of the default library unittest?

I'm not really sure what the advantages are! I would just stick with the standard library until we have a reason to add something to the dependencies.
