re-write tests in pytest

[kdaily]

nose is in maintenance mode. Since this project is new, we should use pytest.

pytest has basic features to run nose tests. should just try to enable it and see if it works.

It does - but we have no tests that are actually running right now?

I can change this simple test to pytest no problemo.

Great! Please also check that the test is actually running? I tried both and no tests ran:

(annotator) [kdaily@tigger annotator]$ nosetests
