It seems pytest's very comprehensive CI sniffed out a few other places with similar bugs. Ideally we should find all the places where args are not stringy and solve it at the source, but who knows how many people are relying on the implicit string conversion. See [here](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/blob/master/src/_pytest/config/__init__.py#L160-L166) for one such problem area (args with a single py.path.local instance is converted here, but a list or tuple containing some are not).

The ``pytest`` framework makes it easy to write small tests, yet
scales to support complex functional testing for applications and libraries.
An example of a simple test:
.. code-block:: python
# content of test_sample.py
def inc(x):
return x + 1
def test_answer():
assert inc(3) == 5
To execute it::
$ pytest
============================= test session starts =============================
collected 1 items
test_sample.py F
================================== FAILURES ===================================
_________________________________ test_answer _________________________________
def test_answer():
> assert inc(3) == 5
E assert 4 == 5
E + where 4 = inc(3)
test_sample.py:5: AssertionError
========================== 1 failed in 0.04 seconds ===========================
Due to ``pytest``'s detailed assertion introspection, only plain ``assert`` statements are used. See `getting-started <http://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/getting-started.html#our-first-test-run>`_ for more examples.
