From the python-dev thread it seemed like using
object.__getattribute__(self, 'name') is the cleanest way of
implementing a class wich uses .__getattr__() and should be
pickelable. That only works on new-style classes so this also turns
HookProxy into a new-style class on py2.
This also re-writes the test to not use cPickle so it runs on py3k.
User provided messages, or any valid expression given as second
argument to the assert statement, are now shown in addition to the
py.test introspection details. Formerly any user provided message
would entirely replace the introspection details.
Fixes issue549.
The assertion formatting mini-language depends on newlines being
escaped. Unfortunately if the repr of an object contained
newlines the rewriting module did not escape those, which is now
fixed.
Fixes issue453.
The result from the pytest_assertrepr_compare hook should not include
any newlines since that will confuse the mini-formatting language used
by assertion.util.format_explanation. So simply escape the included
newlines, this way hook writers do not have to worry about this at
all.
Fixes issue 453.
Such reference cycles unnecessarily cause Python interpreter not to garbage
collect the objects referenced in those cycles as soon they could be collected,
and in turn cause the tests to use more memory than is strictly necessary.

Prevent error on exit if some code messes with sys.meta_path and removes the
assertionrewrite hook (CaptureMock seems to do this):
File "/Users/marca/dev/hg-repos/pytest/_pytest/assertion/__init__.py", line 64, in pytest_unconfigure
sys.meta_path.remove(hook)
ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list

If the compared text was in bytes and not actually valid text
(i.e. could not be encoded to text/unicode using the default encoding)
then the assertrepr would fail with an EncodingError. This ensures
that the internal string is always valid unicode, converting any bytes
safely to valid unicode. This is done using repr() which then needs
post-processing to fix the encompassing quotes and un-escape newlines.
This fixes issue 429.
The only remaining 'py.test' references are:
* those referring to the 'py.test' executable
* those in code explicitly testing py.test/pytest module compatibility
* those in old CHANGES documentation
* those in documentation generated based on external data
* those in seemingly unfinished & unmaintained Japanese documentation
Minor stylistic changes and typo corrections made to documentation next to
several applied py.test --> pytest content changes.
Starting with Python 3.3, NamespacePath passed to importlib hooks
seem to have lost the ability to be accessed by index.
We wrap the index access in a try..except and wrap the path in a
list if it happens.
Fixes#383.
