Absolutely! > the disadvantage is being dependent on pytest as unittest does not support that functionality. Which is the whole point of using pytest, yes? I’m very opinionated about this, but I really dislike unittest — it’s simply way too Java-y — makes the easy things harder than they should be, and is missing critical should-be-easy features. I moved to pure pytest a few years ago, and have been very happy about it. In fact, I recently converted some d unittest code to pure pytest, and it was literally about 1/4 as much code. The only reason I can see to avoid pytest features is that it’s not in the standard lib — but it’s not a run-time dependency, and it’s easy to install and well supported — so all good. I suppose we may want to avoid some of pytest’s more magical esoteric features, but certainly not core functionality like fixtures and parameterized tests. -CHB _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
