I'm quite fond of python testing, and I think you may be right. :)

Honestly, that complexity is why we haven't done the split or an update to
a newer pytest. There are a number of interdependencies in updating pytest
and having to navigate versions that still support python2 makes it even
more complicated.

If we don't decide that way though, I definitely would want to split pytest
into separate py2 and py3 ports.
