6.0.0: pytest is failing in two units about pytest-runner

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

Maybe a release with extra description plus status change before

[kloczek]

Looks like test suite is trying to execute python setup.py pytest <args>.
There two issues here:

• there is hardscoded here python executable name (I have only python3)
• using python setup.py is already deprecated.

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

This package is deprecated since years

It's only purpose was to support the setup.py call

[kloczek]

pytest-runner is still used by many other modules test suites.
Just checked my library with python modules rpm spec files (I have +1.1k such spec files onl;y for python modules)

So all avove modules shoud drop use your module? 🤔

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

Correct

[kloczek]

If that is true plese add note about that in repo description and on pypi, and mark repo as archived.

[nicoddemus]

Good point. We do have a notice in the README, but making it archive would make it even more obvious.

Do you see any drawbacks of us doing that @RonnyPfannschmidt ?

[kloczek]

IMO it woild be good to add short note for all other people about what to do on dropping use of pytest-runner.
👍

[graingert]

@kloczek there's a note here: https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-runner/blame/main/README.rst#L36-L40

[kloczek]

OK. Now I'll try to actively spread that update 😋

Thank you for your time👍
