Same feelings here. When I see pytest is like: "oh no...". Been using nose2/unittest for ages and I will continue to do so because is so damn simple. > that it makes learning the library difficult for new comers Not only for newcomers, I've used in the past and if I need to pick it up again I believe I'm going to spend some time refreshing a ton of things and probably get got caught by some caveat. > fixtures are passed as arguments in function Exactly questioned that myself so long ago. Implementing fixture functionality from scratch in Python (even supporting different formats) is only a few lines of code.
