It means that the latest version of py.test can't be used, then. With your hack you disable a feature that is essential to our development. Note that PyPy could, so far, use an external py.test, but always also came with its own included version, available as the top-level "pytest.py". Maybe we should systematically document using that one instead and make sure it doesn't pick any globally installed "_pytest" package. There was also another essential-to-PyPy feature that was removed recently, so maybe we'll stop updating py.test altogether in the future. A bientôt, Armin.
