It's quite hard to find more about the history of pytest - when was it
actually founded?

The first thing I found are some commits in the pytest-commit ML
archive from 2004:

https://mail.python.org/pipermail/pytest-commit/2004-October/000003.html

It seems like most of the concepts were already there though - so is
there some earlier history (perhaps as part of PyPy) I haven't found
out about yet?
