it doesn't have to be either-or; pytest can deal with unittest tests,
with some limitations. See here for some notes:

https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/unittest.html

so you can try out what you have under pytest, and if liking it, can
begin to transition to more native pytest - or just keep it as the test
runner, or just stick with unittest.
