Only the install command is deprecated in setuptools, so other commands 
like test should continue to work fine, for projects that ship a 
setup.py. Projects don't have to have a setup.py though, and in that 
case tests need to be run with an alternative command depending on the 
test framework used by the project. 'python -m pytest' would be one example.
