+Generating a py.test standalone Script
+============================================
+
+If you are a maintainer or application developer and want users 
+to run tests you can use a facility to generate a standalone
+"py.test" script that you can tell users to run::
+
+    py.test --genscript=mytest 
+
+will generate a ``mytest`` script that is, in fact, a ``py.test`` under
+disguise.  You can tell people to download and then e.g. run it like this::
+
+    python mytest --pastebin=all 
+
+and ask them to send you the resulting URL.  The resulting script has 
+all core features and runs unchanged under Python2 and Python3 interpreters.
