merging into pytest-core?

[hpk42]

hello -- i am considering merging capturelog/catchlog functionality into core, see https://mail.python.org/pipermail/pytest-dev/2015-September/003159.html -- would be great if you participate in the discussion.

We already had some discussions in #4 where we planned to move it to pytest-dev after #7 is done. #7 is the PR which improves a lot, but also changes the API in an incompatible way - I already commented there about having a compatibility layer, which I guess would be needed for merging it in.

I'm not sure if I personally would like to see it merged, actually. It'd mean I'd have to wait longer for new features compared to an independent plugin release cycle, and I have some contributions in mind 😉

Any updates on this topic ?

I would also be interested if this proejct were merged into pytest-core.

Now that #7 is done and the pytest-dev maintainers are in favor of the merge, we can finally start to merge it. Or shouldn't we?

This is true, but we could merge it into the core but still develop it outside, like what is done for org-mode in emacs. Org-mode is merged from time to time into emacs core, but developed in a separate repository. I'm not sure if it's worth the effort, given that the current pytest release cylce is approximately one release per month.

@The-Compiler would you like a faster release cylce of pytest-dev than one release per month?

[The-Compiler]

No, I'm guessing that would be fine indeed.

pytest-catchlog now got merged into the pytest core: pytest-dev/pytest#2794

I'll take care of some obvious remaining issues here, but I'd be glad if someone could help sorting the rest out: pytest-dev/pytest#3003
