I noticed that there now also is a pytest-logging release from Pedro Algarvio:

    https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-logging

which adds to the confusion around logging and pytest, unfortunately.

I haven't used pytest-catchlog myself yet but intend to do so.
It'd be great if eisenheng or you could get in contact with Pedro
and see how we can all arrive in a situation which is less confusing
to users, somewhat independently from the question of merging catchlog
into pytest-dev.
