I am unsure. Since this is a standard command supported by setuptools, I
suppose we can say this is the recommended way. You can define tests
dependencies inside setup.py as well as the test suite to run.
See `test_suite` and `tests_require` in the following documentation:
http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html
This also enables you to run a third party collector like nose which is
convenient because the default collector is only able to run tests as a
module. Of course, this also can be overriden to run tox, so it won't
necessarily help you.
