  Description     : pytest support for asyncio

pytest-asyncio is a library for testing asyncio (asynchronous input/output) code with pytest.

asyncio code is usually written in the form of coroutines, which makes it slightly more difficult to test using normal testing tools. pytest-asyncio provides useful fixtures and markers to make testing easier.

Features

* fixtures for creating and injecting versions of the asyncio event loop
* fixtures for injecting unused tcp ports
* pytest markers for treating tests as asyncio coroutines
* easy testing with non-default event loops
* support for async def fixtures and async generator fixtures
		    
It is also required by py-evm ( see RFP #884796 ).
