Heh, i'd like to help, am always looking for real-world feedback
and issues :)

The below error seems to indicate pytest is not installed. 
Maybe django-pytest does not require it and you need to 
install pytest manually? 

As to your case-by-case strategy: what happens if you simply
run "py.test" (2.0) on your code base today? 

cheers,

P.S.: I am often at #pylib on irc.freenode.net
where we could sort out things a bit more realtime.
Otherwise let's stick to one mailing list, i am fine with 
sticking to just TIP and to take things to private mail
if we have more than a couple of to and fros.
