Unfortunately it looks like calling it "py.test-3" is not a standard
feature of the pytest package and again, unfortunately it doesn't matter
what python you use to invoke "test.py" because it's just a wrapper to
the py.test app.  I found all of this out as part of the series because
test.py uses python3 not python2 and I wasn't sure why python2 was being
invoked.  It turned out to be py.test itself.  So yes, python2's pytest
package will need to be removed from the host or a virtualenv used.
