Implemented python tests with pytest (#790)

Currently the python tests act as scripts. A lot of output is generated to stdout which makes it very hard to figure out where problems were. Also if you want to run only a single test you basically need to comment out code in order to accomplish this.

This PR modifies the python tests to us the pytest python testing framework. This framework allows individual tests to be targeted via the command line, without touching the source code. It also suppressed stdout by default making the test output much easier to read. Also after the tests run it will provide a summary of what failed, what succeded, etc.
