[pypy-dev] autopath/conftest/whatsoever bug?

Hi guys,

nothing really bad, but it makes me think if we are consistent
about certain things?

I wanted to run py.test on folders which are not in the pypy
path hierarchy. After a while, Richard came up with the idea
to just copy conftest.py to the path where you are.
And in fact, it works so far that if you do

/pypy/dist/pypy/test_all.py --help

you can see that the extra help options appear.

But when I then run my test actually with the --view option,
this option is simply ignored. No error message, the test
runs, but no PyGame window.

I checked amd moved the same file into the pypy tree and used
exactly the same cmd line and it works.

No big deal after all, but the fact that I can activate part of
pypy support with the conftest trick, but not the PyGame stuff,
makes me a bit concerned if we might be using a mixture of
import strategies at certain places?
Not too easy to find, I guess there is some except:pass thing
hiding the problem.

ciao - chris
