Hi All,
Just looking for opinions and feedback on the need to keep NumPy from having a hard nose/pytest dependency. The options as I see them are:
pytest is never imported until the tests are run -- current practice with nose pytest is never imported unless the testfiles are imported -- what I would like pytest is imported together when numpy is -- what we need to avoid. Currently the approach has been 1), but I think 2) makes more sense and allows more flexibility.
I am not quite sure about everything here. My guess is we can do whatever we want when it comes to our own tests, and I don't mind just switching everything to pytest (I for one am happy as long as I can run `runtests.py` ;)). When it comes to the utils we provide, those should keep working without nose/pytest if they worked before without it I think. My guess is that all your options do that, so I think we should take the one that gives the nicest maintainable code :). Though can't say I looked enough into it to really make a well educated decision, that probably means your option 2. - Sebastian
