  Description     : benchmarking plugin for pytest


A py.test fixture for benchmarking code. It will group the tests into rounds that are calibrated to the
chosen timer. See calibration and FAQ.


Clearly it is possible to use this package via a virtualenv and pip into it, but given that PyTest is
packaged by Debian it would be good to also package useful plugins such as this, just as a number of other
plugins are packaged. I am using this, and finding a bit irritating having to go the virtualenv route.  It
would be most splendid if a person already packaging other PyTest plugins would be willing to pick this one
up. I could be convinced to join in this activity but would need a lot of guidance initially from a current
packager willing to help me jointhe team.
