That's a pitty. Given the pluggability of pytest, each plugin could have a
way to collect files and offer test suites back to pytest. Isn't there a
way to specify one of my spec tests without the wrong plugin(s) picking up
this file?

 Bruno, my plugin is collecting the file specified on the command line
correctly, but still the python plugin tries to run it too. That's where it
goes wrong.
