Changes between 2.3.2 and 2.3.3

-----------------------------------

- fix issue214 - parse modules that contain special objects like e. g.

  flask's request object which blows up on getattr access if no request

  is active. thanks Thomas Waldmann.

- fix issue213 - allow to parametrize with values like numpy arrays that

  do not support an __eq__ operator

- fix issue215 - split test_python.org into multiple files

- fix issue148 - @unittest.skip on classes is now recognized and avoids

  calling setUpClass/tearDownClass, thanks Pavel Repin

- fix issue209 - reintroduce python2.4 support by depending on newer

  pylib which re-introduced statement-finding for pre-AST interpreters

- nose support: only call setup if it's a callable, thanks Andrew

  Taumoefolau

- fix issue219 - add py2.4-3.3 classifiers to TROVE list

- in tracebacks *,** arg values are now shown next to normal arguments

- fix issue217 - support mock.patch with pytest's fixtures - note that

  you need either mock-1.0.1 or the python3.3 builtin unittest.mock.

- fix issue127 - improve documentation for pytest_addoption() and
