TST: adds basic testing framework

[stsievert]

This implements a basic testing framework, as mentioned in #57. Going off the py.test/nose/etc testing framework, I tried to implement some basic tests in tests/.

My one test (below) didn't pass (threw NotJSON error) but at least the test is here now, and I'll let you work out the details.

def test_basic_parse():
    n = NotebookParser()
    n.parse('Basic.ipynb', 'basic.rst')

Thanks for this PR.

The error you are getting is because the NotebookParser doesn't work like that. The input arguments are a string containing the actual contents of a notebook file (not its file name) and an empty docutils "document" object. See the documentation of docutils.parsers.rst.Parser.parse().

BTW, there are no .rst files involved in the API and there shouldn't be in the tests either, because with #36 there won't be intermediate .rst files anymore.

[...] and I'll let you work out the details.

I won't. And it's not for a lack of understanding. As I said in #57 (comment), I don't have the time or energy to implement proper automated tests. But it would be great if you could do it!

I'm closing this for lack of activity.

If somebody wants to add automated testing, feel free to create another PR!
