Directional project guidance of Unit Testing

[egberts]

There is some features that are found in Pytest but not in unittest that would require that I put in an import statement to pytest in at least one of Pelican's test_*.py source file:

import pytest

I am holding back from doing that so that I can firstly get in touch with the maintainers/brainiacs as to what direction we are taking with regard to unittest, pytest, or something.

Are we considering to stay the most common denominator of unittest for the sake of possible alternatives to pytest in the future?

Or can we move forward to using pytest-specific feature set? (There are many alternatives, but none has outshined pytest).
