pytest for unittesters
summary
Explains why pytest actually rewrites test bytecode to give rich failure messages and preserve bare asserts in -O mode, shows assert rewriting and the warning for tuple-as-assert bugs, demonstrates fixtures with yield teardown and composable fixture injection by name, walks through parametrize and stacked parameterization that generates Cartesian products, and shows plugins that do real work like xdist parallel workers and --showlocals to capture locals on failure so migrating from unittest can be incremental.
