<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br><br>I've been looking at pytest and nose as alternatives to unittest,
since they both offer a pythonic interface for writing unit tests
without too much boilerplate. I was hoping for some opinions from this
list about when to choose nose and when to choose pytest? What are the
main advantages of each? My target python version is 3.3, does that make
a difference? <br>
