[Numpy-discussion] pytest and degrees of separation.

[Thomas Caswell]

Going with option 2 is probably the best option so that you can use pytest

Might be worth looking at how Matplotlib re-arranged things on our master
branch to maintain back-compatibility with nose-specific tools that were
used by down-stream projects.
