Switch to pytest? #327
Description
nose is no longer maintained (last release was in 2015) so I think we should consider moving on to a different testing framework. pytest gets us a lot of things like simplified argument parametrization and a lot of plugins we can install. It works with unittest so I don't think the move will require an overhaul.

Yeah, pytest seems to be the dominant framework these days. I use it in other projects. I'm not sure what's involved in switching, hope I don't have to individually edit the tests.

Aside from removing references to
nose-specific stuff, no. I'll have a PR soon.dargueta commentedon Aug 6, 2019
Working on it in #337, may need help fixing Appveyor since I've never used it before and don't really know what I'm doing.

I added a plugin to randomize test execution order and it looks like we have some hidden test interdependencies I can't figure out. Help would be most welcome.
