 ``-v, --verbose``
-
     Increase verbosity. This shows a test per line while running and also
     shows the traceback after interrupting the test run with Ctrl-C.
 
 
 ``-x, --exitfirst``
-
     exit instantly on the first error or the first failed test.
 
 
 ``-s, --nocapture``
-
     disable catching of sys.stdout/stderr output.
 
 
 ``-k KEYWORD``
-
     only run test items matching the given keyword expression. You can also add
     use ``-k -KEYWORD`` to exlude tests from being run. The keyword is matched
     against filename, test class name, method name.

 ``--pdb``
-
     drop into pdb (the `Python debugger`_) on exceptions. If the debugger is
     quitted, the next test is run. This implies ``-s``.
 
 
 ``--tb=TBSTYLE``
-    
     traceback verboseness: ``long`` is the default, ``short`` are the normal
     Python tracebacks, ``no`` omits tracebacks completely.
 
 
 ``--fulltrace``
-
     Don't cut any tracebacks. The default is to leave out frames if an infinite
     recursion is detected.
 
 
 ``--nomagic``
-
     Refrain from using magic as much as possible. This can be useful if you are
     suspicious that ``py.test`` somehow interferes with your program in
     unintended ways (if this is the case, please contact us!).
 
 
 ``--collectonly``
-
     Only collect tests, don't execute them.
 
 
 ``--traceconfig``
-
     trace considerations of conftest.py files. Useful when you have various
     conftest.py files around and are unsure about their interaction.

-
     Python executable to run the tests with. Useful for testing on different

     Run browser (implies --startserver).
 
 
 ``--box``
-
     Use boxing: run each test in an external process. Very useful for testing
     things that occasionally segfault (since normally the segfault then would
     stop the whole test process).
 
 ``--rest``
-
     `reStructured Text`_ output reporting.
