Any interest in moving towards pytest testing framework?

Noticed most of the tests use unittest.
Is there any interest in porting this over to pytest eventually? This gives several benefits such as parametrization, monkey patching whist maintaining compatibility with unittest and thus allowing for a gradual overhaul.
The added benefits of this is that we would be more in line with the testing practices used by scikit-learn and thus increase compatibility between the two libraries!

There are no current plans to move towards another testing framework. Perhaps if enough users/contributors feel the need to do this..
