Is this true now, or is this planned? 

I read(/skimmed) the docs for py.test when you linked to the project, but
I don't recall seeing that. Certainly some of the features made me drool
but I have an investment in unittest. If I can relatively easily port them
over, I'd love to use py.test. (I don't care about a small per-file
change, it'd probably be one I can automate anyhow. But I can't afford to
re-write every test.) I didn't see anything like this in the docs, but I
may have missed it.

That'd be cool.
