I was trying to construct something where a full pytest run on one
python version was one subtest.  For granularity I think treating an
entire pytest run as a subtest with just checking the return code should
be sufficient,
e.g. `python2.7 -m pytest ${NOTMUCH_SRCDIR}/bindings/python/notmuch`.

But the whole test in this case would be this same subtest but once with
python2.7, python3.5, python3.6 etc.

What do you think of this?

Cheers,
Floris
