Research direction

Open the README and compare its nosetests instructions with the test commands used by Travis and Appveyor. Update the documented test runner so it matches CI, then verify the README no longer conflicts with those configurations.

Description

The README mentions that nosetests is how the testsuite can be run - but it looks like pytest is used in CI (travis and appveyor) instead.
