What is a good, simple alternative to nose (which is not maintained anymore)?

unittest?

pytest?

As a Fedora Linux packager who sees a lot of Python packages, I can safely say that most of the general community has converged on pytest. Some simpler packages use only unittest in their test modules, but pytest is still a nicer test runner for these. Other approaches to testing are rare.

While nose2 is still maintained, it doesn’t seem to have attracted a lot of users, comparatively speaking.
