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

PostgreSQL/psycopg Backend
==========================

This are notes about PostqreSQL backend based on the psycopg adapter for
Roundup issue tracker.

Prerequisites
=============

To use PostgreSQL as backend for storing roundup data, you should
additionally install:

1. PostgreSQL 8.x or higher - http://www.postgresql.org/

2. The psycopg python interface to PostgreSQL:

     http://initd.org/software/initd/psycopg


Running the PostgreSQL unit tests
=================================

The user that you're running the tests as will need to be able to access
the postgresql database on the local machine and create and drop
databases. See the config values in 'test/db_test_base.py' 
about which database connection, name and user will be used.
