hi there, at work we use a test framework called "Contexts": http://contexts.readthedocs.io/en/v0.11.2/
it's basically a syntax for declaring tests using a given/when/then kind of syntax, using classes and special methods. as a way of structuring your tests it's... fine, once you get used to it. as a test runner and assertion framework it's fairly primitive. so i'd like to write a pytest plugin for it that basically just re-uses the parts of it that know how to recognise given/when/then bits, and then just use pytest as the test runner and assertion library. any pointers for how to get started? i thought i'd get a prototype started just based on `conftest.py`, and I've found the `pytest_pycollect_makeitem` which seems to be a good place to intercept for collecting tests, but I don't know what it's supposed to return (an "Item"? what's that? docs are minimal) or how to provide info about setup and teardown methods, which I guess would need to become fixtures somehow, but how would I associate them with a test method? maybe there's some example code somewhere i could look at? i tried peeking at pytest-bdd but it seems to be doing things at a lower level... hp
