Changing parametrized tests to be pytest 3.2.0 compatible - #578

The python 3.4 test fails because it's using pytest 3.0.5, which apparently does not have the pytest.param fixture.

I think the best workaround for now is simply to limit the pytest version to < 3.2.

I can build a pytest 3.1 version for py3.4 in the astropy-ci-extras channel.

@bsipocz I just reran the failing py3.4 test and it it still using pytest 3.0.5 (and thus still failing). Ping!

@larrybradley - Yes, we run into troubles there with the machinery, I can only forward the ping to @mwcraig as he's the only one with a full understanding of our conda infrastructure.

As a temporary workaround could I install an updated pytest via pip? Or perhaps we should drop the py3.4 test?

That should work.

I'll try to take a look at the underlying issue tonight...

I installed pytest >= 3.1 via pip as a workaround. Thanks, @bsipocz!
