[Pytest-commit] Issue #457: parser.addoption(type="float") backwards incompatibility (hpk42/pytest)

New issue 457: parser.addoption(type="float") backwards incompatibility
https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/pytest/issue/457/parseraddoption-type-float-backwards

Floris Bruynooghe:

The parser.addoption(type="...") api has changed from optparse to argparse and the conversion from "int" -> int and "string" -> string is handled however float is not available.  This causes existing plugins to fail without any notice.
