unittest or pytest as architecture

[russel]

Currently benchmark follows the unittest philosophy of a script being a valid Python script with everything self-contained. pytest takes the view of getting rid of the "boilerplate" by having a special command required to run the script, i.e. the script is not a Python script but a pytest script.

Is it feasible for benchmark to support both approaches or should, like unittest and pytest, the two approaches be two separate benchmarking frameworks?

maybe merge with https://pytest-benchmark.readthedocs.org?
