Floris Bruynooghe 37bd1e03cb Show user assertion messages and instrospection together
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 ``pytest`` testing tool makes it easy to write small tests, yet
scales to support complex functional testing.  It provides

- `auto-discovery
  <http://pytest.org/latest/goodpractises.html#python-test-discovery>`_
  of test modules and functions,
- detailed info on failing `assert statements <http://pytest.org/latest/assert.html>`_ (no need to remember ``self.assert*`` names)
- `modular fixtures <http://pytest.org/latest/fixture.html>`_  for
  managing small or parametrized long-lived test resources.
- multi-paradigm support: you can use ``pytest`` to run test suites based
  on `unittest <http://pytest.org/latest/unittest.html>`_ (or trial),
  `nose <http://pytest.org/latest/nose.html>`_
- single-source compatibility to Python2.5 all the way up to Python3.4,
  PyPy-2.3 and Jython-2.5.1.

- many `external plugins <http://pytest.org/latest/plugins.html#installing-external-plugins-searching>`_.

A simple example for a test::

    # content of test_module.py
    def test_function():
        i = 4
        assert i == 3

which can be run with ``py.test test_module.py``.  See `getting-started <http://pytest.org/latest/getting-started.html#our-first-test-run>`_ for more examples.
