However, we have a significant in-house investment in Hudson/Jenkins automated testing that currently depends on nose + xcoverage + xunit output to tie into the Hudson xUnit/Cobertura plugin support for tracking test coverage and successes.

I am not aware of a pytest plugin that outputs coverage info parseable by
Jenkins.  There is only "pytest-cov" which provides coverage output in 
html or text pages.  Not sure how hard it is to extend it or if anybody
tried yet.
