<p>pytest is a mature Python testing tool with more than a 1000 tests
against itself, passing on many different interpreters and platforms.</p>
<p>The 2.5.2 release fixes a few bugs with two maybe-bugs remaining and
actively being worked on (and waiting for the bug reporter&#8217;s input).
We also have a new contribution guide thanks to Piotr Banaszkiewicz
and others.</p>
<p>See docs at:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><a class="reference external" href="http://pytest.org">http://pytest.org</a></div></blockquote>
<p>As usual, you can upgrade from pypi via:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>pip install -U pytest</pre>
</div>
<p>Thanks to the following people who contributed to this release:</p>

<ul class="simple">
<li>fix issue409 &#8211; better interoperate with cx_freeze by not
trying to import from collections.abc which causes problems
for py27/cx_freeze.  Thanks Wolfgang L. for reporting and tracking it down.</li>

Thanks Jurko Gospodnetic for the complete PR.</li>
<li>fix issue425: mention at end of &#8220;py.test -h&#8221; that &#8211;markers
and &#8211;fixtures work according to specified test path (or current dir)</li>
<li>fix issue413: exceptions with unicode attributes are now printed
