which offers uebersimple assertions, scalable fixture mechanisms
and deep customization for testing with Python. Particularly,
this release provides:

unittest, mock
- makes pytest work on py24 again (yes, people sometimes still need to use it)
- show ``*,**`` args in pytest tracebacks
Thanks to Manuel Jacob, Thomas Waldmann, Ronny Pfannschmidt, Pavel Repin
and Andreas Taumoefolau for providing patches and all for the issues.

Changes between 2.3.2 and 2.3.3
-----------------------------------
- fix issue214 - parse modules that contain special objects like e. g.
flask's request object which blows up on getattr access if no request
is active. thanks Thomas Waldmann.
- fix issue213 - allow to parametrize with values like numpy arrays that
do not support an __eq__ operator
- fix issue215 - split test_python.org into multiple files
- fix issue148 - @unittest.skip on classes is now recognized and avoids
calling setUpClass/tearDownClass, thanks Pavel Repin
- fix issue209 - reintroduce python2.4 support by depending on newer
pylib which re-introduced statement-finding for pre-AST interpreters
- nose support: only call setup if its a callable, thanks Andrew
Taumoefolau
- fix issue219 - add py2.4-3.3 classifiers to TROVE list
- in tracebacks *,** arg values are now shown next to normal arguments
(thanks Manuel Jacob)
- fix issue217 - support mock.patch with pytest's fixtures - note that
you need either mock-1.0.1 or the python3.3 builtin unittest.mock.
- fix issue127 - improve documentation for pytest_addoption() and
add a ``config.getoption(name)`` helper function for consistency.
