  Description     : a plugin for pytest testing MPI-related code

pytest-mpi provides a number of things to assist with using pytest
with MPI-using code, specifically:
 - Displaying of the current MPI configuration (e.g. the MPI
 version, the number of processes)
 - Sharing temporary files/folders across the MPI processes
 - Markers which allow for skipping or xfailing tests
based on whether the tests are being run under MPI

Further documentation can be found at https://pytest-mpi.readthedocs.io.


This plugin is required by future releases of h5py to run h5py tests
on MPI functionality, see https://github.com/h5py/h5py/pull/1255

To be maintained under the Debian Python Modules Team, alongside pytest.
