Ups, i overread that earlier.  Actually i would have sworn 
that there was documentation about '--session' but apparently
i was dreaming.    

Maybe the name should be changed to something like '--loop'
which hopefully makes it more obvious that py.test will
continously run all your tests, restarting every time a python
file in your project changes.  On each loop run it records
failing tests and reruns only those.  If there are no failing
tests left, it starts all over. 

cheers,
