Just FYI, In the new version, I'm changing this macro to check for all test 
dependencies.


Is pytest a build dependency or a test dependency?
If it's only for testing, the check should, probably,
be part of the tests/atlocal.in, which is executed
every time before starting the testsuite.



Hi Ilya, that's a good question. It's for testing but since I was
mimicking the flake8 tests, I have included them in the ALL_LOCAL
target. But I think it'd better if they are run as part of "make check",
right?

Yeah, flake8 is just a style check, while these are actual unit tests,
so should belong to a testsuite, I think.


Do you think it's better to add a new test as part of "testsuite.at" or create a new "python-testsuite.at" and a new target, e.g: "make check-python"?

A benefit of the former is that it'll be integrated into the CI for free.
A benefit from the latter is that it'll be faster since there is no need to build the entire project.


Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
