I think that is exactly what we are for :)

So what you want here is  -k. e.g.

py.test -k 'TestHomeController.test_index_with_anonymous_access_disabled'

-k will match on any part of the file name, class name,
method/function name, and also any marks (which I suspect you are not
using yet).

Likely you can just use

py.test -k 'test_index_with_anonymous_access_disabled'

or even just

py.test -k 'anonymous'

(although of course there might be other tests that get picked up by this)
