I do have a working implementation with the following:

1) Create a marker:

slow = pytest.mark.skipif("'SLOW' not in os.environ")

2) Mark appropriate tests:

@slow
def test_which_is_slow():
    ...

3) Turn on slow tests from command line:

$ SLOW=1 py.test

Not exactly the form factor I was looking for, but it does work.

I understand I can mark tests with `@pytest.mark.whatever` and run them specifically with `pytest -m whatever`, or run skip them with `pytest -m 'not whatever'`. But how I can configure pytest in my package such that the default behavior is to skip those tests?

Specifically, I have some tests that are very slow (multiple seconds each). I want to mark them 'slow', and have the default behavior when running `pytest` be to skip them. That way they will only run if you explicitly run them with `pytest -m slow`.

Is there a way to configure this in conftest.py?
