IIRC we wanted to have a simple pure python test runner (py.test needs (or needed, don't know if this still applies) compiled C code), that can be bundled with sympy while keeping compatibility to py.test. I think some features that py.test does not have got added later. Silently we broke compatibility, so you get a lot of failing tests if you run py.test now. (Mainly because @XFAIL does not work for it, but not only this.) This is unfortunate, because py.test's output is much nicer in case something goes wrong.
