Documented that since pytest 2.4.0 you can use the raw pdb.set_trace() call directly without the pytest.set_trace() wrapper or explicitly disabling pytest's output capture using 'py.test -s'. Clearly stated how pytest (since version 2.0.0.) automatically disables its output capture when entering an interactive PDB debugger. This avoids confusing new users because their tests display different output when running with or without entering an interactive debugger (even if user does nothing in that interactive debugger session other than exit it and continue with the regular test execution). --HG-- branch : pdb_doc_update

The ``pytest`` testing tool makes it easy to write small tests, yet
scales to support complex functional testing. It provides
- `auto-discovery
<http://pytest.org/latest/goodpractises.html#python-test-discovery>`_
of test modules and functions,
- detailed info on failing `assert statements <http://pytest.org/latest/assert.html>`_ (no need to remember ``self.assert*`` names)
- `modular fixtures <http://pytest.org/latest/fixture.html>`_ for
managing small or parametrized long-lived test resources.
- multi-paradigm support: you can use ``pytest`` to run test suites based
on `unittest <http://pytest.org/latest/unittest.html>`_ (or trial),
`nose <http://pytest.org/latest/nose.html>`_
- single-source compatibility to Python2.5 all the way up to Python3.3,
PyPy-1.9 and Jython-2.5.1.
- many `external plugins <http://pytest.org/latest/plugins.html#installing-external-plugins-searching>`_.
A simple example for a test::
# content of test_module.py
def test_function():
i = 4
assert i == 3
which can be run with ``py.test test_module.py``. See `getting-started <http://pytest.org/latest/getting-started.html#our-first-test-run>`_ for more examples.
