Hi all, also released pytest-xdist-1.11 with some little improvements and speedups regarding overheads for distributing tests (maybe 10%, not too much). Install it with: pip install -U pytest-xdist and checkout the pypi page: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-xdist best, holger 1.10 ------------------------- - add glob support for rsyncignores, add command line option to pass additional rsyncignores. Thanks Anatoly Bubenkov. - fix pytest issue382 - produce "pytest_runtest_logstart" event again in master. Thanks Aron Curzon. - fix pytest issue419 by sending/receiving indices into the test collection instead of node ids (which are not neccessarily unique for functions parametrized with duplicate values) - send multiple "to test" indices in one network message to a slave and improve heuristics for sending chunks where the chunksize depends on the number of remaining tests rather than fixed numbers. This reduces the number of master -> node messages (but not the reverse direction)
