attrs is awesome, and would be great to have in pytest.

Note that attrs doesn't support Python 2.6 (which we said we would support until pip doesn't). I'm also not sure what this means for @hynek's usage of pytest to test attrs.

i care about python2.6 a lot less than sorting out cruft, and as far as i can tell the next feature release after 3.2 can drop python2.6 entirely

wrt vendoring i just verified with @hynek on irc that vendoring is the better approach in the pytest case in order to ensure sound testing

If by pytest-3.3 pip has released 10.0, then I agree completely (including dropping support for python 3.3 as well). Otherwise I would not like to break our promise of only dropping support when pip does.

My gut instinct is to be -0 on this as a whole. But I'm sure you've all done your homework and it's worth it so I'll change that to +0.

I might be missing something but didn't attrs just get vendored as well? Why is it also unconditionally part of install_requires?

i forgot that while vendoring thanks for the note

I believe there's a stale comment in the vendored packages README. I suggest it should be updated to include the motivations for vendoring attrs.

I'm a little wary of this approach of importing a module simply so it's exposed for other modules to import. It may work for attrs because attrs happens to import all of its submodules, but in the general case, this pattern doesn't work. I considered something like this when vendoring packaging into setuptools, but packaging doesn't import all of its submodules, so an from ._vendor import packaging doesn't expose packaging.specifiers (or simililar), but moreover, it's difficult for another module that needs those submodules to make the submodules available.

This pattern is discouraged for exposing non-vendored functionality, so I think it should be discouraged for vendored as well.

I'm strongly opposed to any vendoring if it can be avoided. I read up on #944, which explains the motivations for vendoring pluggy. Do those same motivations apply for this package? Do those motivations not apply to any package on which pytest depends?

@jaraco vendoring atts was suggested as attrs is tested using pytest - and well the only supported way in python to import multiple versions of a package at the same time is to put them under a new name to begin with - even setuptools didnt solve that as multi version install never supported multi version import

Probably needs an appropriate version bound.

vendoring was undone, so the complaint was addressed

there are ltos of them, but if i do a bug bang convert, all things will break interestingly

OK no worries. It is already a bonus to be able to use attrs for new code. 👍

Sorry just noticed now that this comment is ambiguous. Should pytest vendor attrs or the other way around? Just to make sure before we merge this.

@nicoddemus we decided not to vendor at all

It would be great if you could add a travis job to test pytest against attrs master to prevent release drama.

Great idea.

nicoddemus commented Nov 4, 2017

Hmm now that I think about it, should we test against the master of each dependency we add? We already do that for pluggy, exactly because we almost made a new pluggy release which by accident would break pytest. The same can be true for any of the new dependencies: attrs, funcsigs or even colorama.

And even testing against master is not 100% safe, consider this situation: someone merges a funcsigs PR (just an example, could be any of the dependencies) and makes a release. Our funcsigs jobs would break with the new master, but in the meantime between the merge and the release no pytest builds have happened (we only build on PRs and merges after all). In this situation it would immediately break pytest.

Of course adding dependencies to a project you add the risk of breaking because of an update on a dependency, it is the trade-off of not having to implement everything yourself.

To be clear: I'm definitely not against adding new libraries, but we should have a clear policy if we will test all dependencies against their development branch or not.

if we go for testing against master of every dependency, then i'd like an new pr preparing that, then hook into it here

The failure is unrelated, merging this then.
