We should probably rather work on killing this pkg.

All depending packages come from the same author, who has not been responsive in this regard. https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/pull/1665

Except for paramiko, I only see the possibility to completely disable the unit tests (which is the case for 1 of 3 packages already)

> osc whatdependson openSUSE:Factory python-pytest-relaxed standard x86_64
python-pytest-relaxed :
   python-Fabric
   python-invocations
   python-invoke
   python-paramiko

Fabric: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/841501 -- need to supersede and disable tests
invocations: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/841509 -- already accepted, need to revert pytest enablement
invoke: see https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:bnavigator:branches:devel:languages:python:pytest/python-invoke, tests already disabled, just need to remove the BuildRequires
paramiko: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/841496 -- pytest-relaxed patched out

“Banned from Gentoo”? It sounds like we really should get rid of it. BTW, https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Python/Tests seems generally rather sensible set of rules.

Yeah, could we similarly patch out pytest-relaxed from Fabric, invocations, and invoke, without disabling tests completely?

Paramiko was apparently easy because it uses the standard test_*.py and def test* naming convention. The other packages don't. If you can find a way to discover all the right tests and remove the used pytest-relaxed API, okay. But I fear it won't be as easy. And Staging:H has been blocked for way too long.

BTW, Gentoo users build everything from scratch using their real system. So an installed pytest-relaxed affects all other packages, even if they don't require it. We don't suffer from this as much as we have the isolated build environment.

So, what's the verdict?

A: Kill pytest-relaxed and disable unit tests for all packages from bitprophet where it cannot be patched out
B: require (available) pytest5 for those packages
