[py-dev] py.test3, py.test-jython, py.test-pypy ...

[Gordon Wrigley]

Holger,

So I currently have python, python2, python2.5 and python2.6 available
on my machine. 2.5 and 2.6 are actual executables, the other two are
symlinks to python2.6.

What py.test executables will I get?

My preference would be for it to mirror the python ones. I don't care
about python2 so much, but having it mirror the other 3 would be good.
