Jurko Gospodnetić 9fb2079458 replace py.test module references with pytest
The only remaining 'py.test' references are:
 * those referring to the 'py.test' executable
 * those in code explicitly testing py.test/pytest module compatibility
 * those in old CHANGES documentation
 * those in documentation generated based on external data
 * those in seemingly unfinished & unmaintained Japanese documentation

Minor stylistic changes and typo corrections made to documentation next to
several applied py.test --> pytest content changes.

.. _bash_completion:
Setting up bash completion
==========================
When using bash as your shell, ``pytest`` can use argcomplete
(https://argcomplete.readthedocs.org/) for auto-completion.
For this ``argcomplete`` needs to be installed **and** enabled.
Install argcomplete using::
sudo pip install 'argcomplete>=0.5.7'
For global activation of all argcomplete enabled python applications run::
sudo activate-global-python-argcomplete
For permanent (but not global) ``pytest`` activation, use::
register-python-argcomplete py.test >> ~/.bashrc
For one-time activation of argcomplete for ``pytest`` only, use::
eval "$(register-python-argcomplete py.test)"
