[TIP] pytest in the Python shell

[Ronny Pfannschmidt]

Hi,

Python itself does not have safe code reloading,
its strongly suggested to just run new processes

and also the reason why py.test does not include such a tool
its just too easy to get strange breakages

whats wrong with just running a suboprocess or py.test from the normal 
shell?
