Yes, thank you!  And I'm sure maintainers with lots of packages are even
more appreciative than myself :-)

Best,

 Could you ellaborate? Maybe we should have a discussion in the Python
 team so that we implement consistent practices. For example, `gunicorn`
 and `pip` now point to their python3 versions, but you are saying that
 pytest will not do that, what maybe creates more confusion given Debian
 bullseye will not support any other Python.

well, afaiu, we also will ship python-pip, so that users are able to get their
python2 code from other places.

it's a difficult decision to make. But if people want, then we could ship
pytest-is-python2 and pytest-is-python3 packages as well, as long as we don't
build-depend on those.

The python2 interpreter will be supported, but nothing else will, so I
don't see the point of this compatibility.  I don't think that "keep you
old packages from the previous release" is a great upgrade path.

Anyway, my point is that we should collective aim to be consistent
across the Python packages. The fact that some packages have made their
"not *3" binaries be the python3 versions, and others not, due to
arbitrary individual maintainer decisions, is a mess.

Sure, but that only applies for package maintainance. People who just
want to use pytest to test their Python code have a (IMO pointless)
divergence from upstream. This made some sense when there were 2
supported Python ecosystems, but that's now in the past. We could take
the opportunity to fix this.

Moreover, simply invoking "pytest-3" is not enough, one should be using:

for pyvers in $$(py3versions -vr 2>/dev/null) ; do \
python$$pyvers -m pytest ; \
done

otherwise, only the default version of Python3 is tested, and we really
want to test with all available versions (so we get results whenever
we're transitioning to a new Python 3 version).
