I guess that Python development moves very quickly, because there are already some packages whose test suites require a newer version of pytest. Notably, the most recent release of Borg, 1.0.8, requires something called 'tmpdir_factory', which was introduced in pytest 2.8 [0]. You can see this by building Borg on core-updates, where Python 3.5 makes the test suite run (it never ran on master with Python 3.4). I'd really prefer to run the Borg tests, so I want to add a newer release of pytest and use it with Borg. I've been testing pytest upgrades locally, and there is some breakage, so I think we should not try to upgrade it for all packages in this core-updates cycle. Instead, I want to build on Hartmut's wip-python-build-system to upgrade the core Python packages after this core-updates cycle. WDYT?
