In this case, py.test was totally new to me. I had always used
``nose`` or ``tox`` that someone else wrote or setup.py'ed for
me. I was a beginner to py.test and test discoverability.
When I tried running tests out of the box following that pattern
via ``py.test``, it didn't work. Hmm, I thought, there *must*
be some way to make it work. So I Google Fu'd, visited the
link[1] to read about test discovery, and it became clear in my
mind how to do so. I then wrote the documentation for how to
run tests for the scaffold. As a beginner, I managed to work it out.
Because I learned something from this process, I think it is
good for beginners to realize that there is more to py.test than
its mere invocation without options. There's a lot to explore.
After having this discussion, I think I should add this
reference to the tutorial installation step.
For what it's worth, when we go deeper into tests, we use the
simple invocation with a single option to suppress output,
``py.test -q``.[2]

Thank you, Michael and Steve, for the quick responses.
I will open a PR on github with changes to take in consideration what you said.
@Steve:
Sure you can explicitly tell py.test to run a specific test module,
but the whole point of my suggestion is to not pass test module path
to py.test. It's the point of view of a beginner, not familiar with
Pyramid scaffolds nor py.test: isn't it easier/more convenient to only
run ``py.test`` at project's root directory, just after project
creation by scaffold, and get all tests collected by default?

scaffolds are not ready for naive usage of py.test by new comers to
Pyramid,
i.e. running ``py.test [--cov]`` at new project's root collects no tests.
You are correct in that one cannot just naïvely run:
$ py.test [--cov]
py.test discovers tests in the following manner:
