pytest skip: short test summary info does not display actual test file

In Kallithea, we have test code such as::

    if not ldap_lib_installed:
        raise SkipTest('skipping due to missing ldap lib')

where the test is derived from unittest.TestCase, and SkipTest is imported from nose.plugins.skip.

The 'short test summary info' provided by pytest displays::

SKIP [3] /..../local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_pytest/unittest.py:114: skipping due to missing ldap lib

This line refers to unittest.py (handling the skip), rather than the actual test file that causes the skip.

What I expect is output like::

SKIP [3] /..../kallithea/kallithea/tests/functional/test_admin_auth_settings.py:27: skipping due to missing ldap lib

Related issues were reported a long time ago (they should probably be fixed/closed together with this one):

• issue --verbose should report why a test case was skipped #157
• issue Skip report refers to skipping plugin when using skipif marker #114

Is using pytest.skip('skipping due to missing ldap lib') instead of raise SkipTest(...) an option? pytest has its own skip functionality, and I'm not sure we need to support this for nose out of the box.

Sorry, haven't seen #114, so in fact that does not work as I said. :(
