Replace existing run_tests.py script with a pytest script The existing run_test.py script is quite old, a bit restrictive, and doesn't always behave as documented. The pytest testing tool is mature, well documented, and maintained. The run_tests.py script is generating by installing py.test and running: py.tests --genscript=run_tests.py Note: to generate a script that is compatible with python2.6 the command needs to be run using python2.6

Debugging Aids
--------------

Try turning on logging of DEBUG level messages. This may be done a number
of ways, depending on what it is you're testing:

1. If you're testing the database unit tests, then set the environment
   variable ``LOGGING_LEVEL=DEBUG``. This may be done like so:

    LOGGING_LEVEL=DEBUG python run_tests.py

   This variable replaces the older HYPERDBDEBUG environment var.

2. If you're testing a particular tracker, then set the logging level in
   your tracker's ``config.ini``.

SENDMAILDEBUG
=============

Set to a filename and roundup will write each email message
that it sends to that file instead to the internet. 
This environment variable is independent of the python -O flag.
