Bug#890091: ITP: pytest-forked -- py.test plugin for running tests in isolated forked subprocesses



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Scott Talbert <swt@techie.net>

* Package name    : pytest-forked
  Version         : 0.2
  Upstream Author : pytest-dev <pytest-dev@python.org>
* URL             : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-forked
* License         : MIT
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : py.test plugin for running tests in isolated forked subprocesses

The pytest-forked plugin extends py.test by adding an option to run tests in
isolated forked subprocesses. This is useful if you have tests involving C or
C++ libraries that might crash the process. To use the plugin, simply use the
--forked argument when invoking py.test.

Needed as a dependency of pytest-xdist.  Plan to maintain as part of DPMT.
