I consider py.test as one of Python's "killer applications". I've used it since 2010 or so for almost all my non trivial python projects. I've even recently started using it to test my C libraries. It's got a compatibility wrapper to run unittest tests so you can start using it without changing any of your existing tests. I could go on and on but it'll just be fanboyism. > How you guys are writing functional test cases.

Are these http requests? I'm not sure py.test and related infrastructure is the best to do raw performance tests. Something like ab, siege or boom might be better.
