py.test and HTML output

[Victor Ng]

Is there documentation anywhere on how to get py.test to emit nice
HTML output like the kind that they have for the PyPy project here:
http://codespeak.net/~hpk/pypy-testresult/ ?

Should I just redirect the stdout to a StringIO and parse the output
and generate the HTML myself? I see that there's a htmlreport.py in
pypy, but I'm not sure how to use it.

At PyCon in February, there was a presentation (lightning talk perhaps?) of
HTMLTestRunner (http://tungwaiyip.info/software/), that sounds like it does
much as you want. It took me about 3 minutes to integrate with my pyparsing
unit tests, and it is a lot neater-looking than the unittest module's
TextTestRunner.
