[pytest-dev] Configurable collection roots and reusable testsuites - Brainstorming

[Ionel Cristian Mărieș]

I think I'm the evil mastermind behind
<https://twitter.com/ossronny/status/688385835037777920> that idea. It's
about collecting from places that cannot be represented as path arguments
to `py.test`, like a runtime-defined place (a basic example would be if you
want to collect something from site-packages).


Thanks,
