Ask HN: Long running integration test manager? (Python preferably)

I am trying to find a test manager (like nose) but for managing very long running tests; our shortest functional test is about an hour. Some run for 3-6 hours. Google, or my google-fu is failing me because I can't find the right combination of words to not get nose, nose2, pytest or some other such frameworks as top results.

I've tried going many pages deep into the results but it usually ends up with people extolling the virtues of testing which is great but not what I'm looking for at all.

Overall I'm looking for something not that different from the various unit testing frameworks but with two bigger ideas baked in. First that you'll have to do some stuff before actually running your test, while running your test, and after running your test. Second is that since this will take a long time I'd really love a way to report on and monitor progress of tests as they run rather than just staring at a command prompt waiting for "Finished, 1 failed" to pop up.

Any help is greatly appreciated as I've been beating my head against google intermittently for a couple of days now.
