• [feature] Added support for tests to run via py.test.

• [bug] The coerce_string_conf() function, which is used by
  Region.configure_from_config(), will now recognize floating point
  values when parsing conf strings and deliver them as such; this supports
  non-integer values such as Redis lock_sleep. Pullreq courtesy
  Jeff Dairiki.
