It appears that tox (or at least the test phase) also depends on pytest and pip. Please make this explicit in the setup.py (and preferably also in the installation docs) to make life easier for packagers.

add "py" environment using sys.executable and tox's python setup.py test
execute tox with -e py. (closes #46)

Perhaps you could just add a comment that test dependencies are listed in tox.ini? This is just about making it easiers for packagers to find all the required dependencies to properly run the test suite (I've failed so far).

but even with test_requires you couldn't run the tests with setup.py tests - do you still want to have the deps listet here? (i don't really mind, it's just not useful too me and needs attention to keep in sync with tox.ini)

It would be nice to also include the dependencies in test_requires in setup.py... tox.ini is not as standard (yet, at least!).

Hum, the tox.ini states the depedencies for running the tests. Not enough?
