[pytest-dev] Proposal: python namespacign for markings/marker objects

[Ronny Pfannschmidt]

Hi all,

while trying to turn various internal markers of a work project
into public plugins, i noticed a very plain problems - different other
plugins used the same generic marker name for different purposes/intents

such a flat namespace really doesn't scale

as such i would like to propose having marker types and objects as
importable objects


for example



import pytest
from pytest_bugzilla import Blocker


@pytest.mark(Blocker(123))
def test_fun():
  pass

that way we can do both, reuse python name-spacing *and* use more
meaningful objects for markings
