It works on pytest using any Python 2.7+: verm@peach# pytest-2.7 --version This is pytest version 4.5.0, imported from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pytest.pyc verm@peach# pytest --version This is pytest version 4.5.0, imported from /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pytest.py Python 2.x support is not going to go away for a while yet. > What is the relationship to the standard Python unittest module?

This gives an OK overview of the differences between the two: https://www.slant.co/versus/9148/9149/~unittest_vs_pytest It's more suited to our requirements and the ability to do group fixtures is fantastic for testing cross platform support among other scenarios.
