Nose is no longer maintained. Consider switch to pytest?

[Cabalist]

As the title says. Nose hasn't seen an update since Jun 2, 2015.

The official nose homepage says:

Note to Users
Nose has been in maintenance mode for the past several years and will likely cease without a new person/team to take over maintainership. New projects should consider using Nose2, py.test, or just plain unittest/unittest2.

Pytest is a drop in replacement that requires no changes to the tests and has widespread adoption and ongoing support.

I believe it would just be a matter of replacing install_requires = ['nose', 'unittest2'], with install_requires = ['pytest'], in the setup.py

Thoughts?

Will look into it, thank you.
