+py.test xdist plugin: distributed testing and loop failure
+===============================================================
+
+.. _`pytest-xdist respository`: http://bitbucket.org/hpk42/pytest-xdist
+.. _`pytest-xdist`: http://pytest.org/plugin/xdist.html
+
+The pytest-xdist plugin extends ``py.test`` to ad-hoc distribute test 
+runs to multiple CPUs or remote machines.   It requires setuptools
+or distribute which help to drag in the execnet and pytest-core 
+dependencies. 
+
+Install the plugin locally with::
+
+    python setup.py install   
+
+or use the package in develope/in-place mode, particularly
+useful with a checkout of the pytest-xdist repository::
+
+    python setup.py develop
+
+or use one of::
+
+    easy_install pytest-xdist 
+
+    pip install pytest-xdist 
+
+for downloading and installing it in one go.
