Comment (by David Smith):
Hi all,
I've had a bit of a look at running the Django test suite with other test
runners (pytest).
One of the issues I've come accross is there are some classes which are
designed to **only** be inherited but start with the word 'Test'. Pytest
does not know this, tries to run them and fails. A name change for these
would be required. Here is an example:
https://github.com/django/django/blob/8dabdd2cc559a66b519e2a88b64575d304b96ebe/tests/staticfiles_tests/cases.py#L95
I'm happy to investigate pytest further but can I confirm that I've
understood the ticket correctly (i.e. get the test suite running with
pytest) and would these type of changes be welcome. I'm sure there will be
other issues, but in addition to configuring a new test running it is
likely to also result in some of the existing tests need to be renamed /
refactored, (subtests ''could'' be an issue, for example).
