[pytest-dev] More flexibility on test function naming conventions

[Ernesto D. Luzon Jr.]

Hi All,

I found the solution. It is already implemented in pytest but the usage
only exists in the test and not in the documentation.
I looked backed on Bruno's commit here and made a similar pytest.ini file
he created for the test.
https://bitbucket.org/pytest-dev/pytest/commits/4fb4cb5ae00f

So in my case, this is the perfect solution:
[pytest]
python_functions = given and when then but

Many thanks,
Ernesto D. Luzon Jr.
