Actually, there are many people using pytest to test code written in
other languages.  We wrote this:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/oejskit

to test javascript inside browsers using pytest, for instance.

There is a version for running ruby tests and haskell tests that
I know about, and undoubtably many more that I do not.
