(Caveat: I'm not using pytest, nor tox. I just run the appropriate
Coverage runner directly.)

Here is how I accumulate coverage data across different test runs for
the same purpose you describe.

    for py_ver in 2 3 ; do
        python${py_ver}-coverage run --branch --parallel-mode ./setup.py test -q
    done

    python3-coverage combine
    python3-coverage report foo/ bar/
