pytest as a testing framework needs to import test modules and ``conftest.py`` files for execution.
Importing files in Python (at least until recently) is a non-trivial processes, often requiring
changing `sys.path <https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.path>`__. Some aspects of the
changing :data:`sys.path`. Some aspects of the
import process can be controlled through the ``--import-mode`` command-line flag, which can assume
these values:
* ``prepend`` (default): the directory path containing each module will be inserted into the *beginning*
of :py:data:`sys.path` if not already there, and then imported with the `__import__ <https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#__import__>`__ builtin.
of :py:data:`sys.path` if not already there, and then imported with the :func:`__import__ <__import__>` builtin.
This requires test module names to be unique when the test directory tree is not arranged in
packages, because the modules will put in :py:data:`sys.modules` after importing.

Same as ``prepend``, requires test module names to be unique when the test directory tree is
not arranged in packages, because the modules will put in :py:data:`sys.modules` after importing.
* ``importlib``: new in pytest-6.0, this mode uses `importlib <https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.html>`__ to import test modules. This gives full control over the import process, and doesn't require changing :py:data:`sys.path`.
* ``importlib``: new in pytest-6.0, this mode uses :mod:`importlib` to import test modules. This gives full control over the import process, and doesn't require changing :py:data:`sys.path`.
For this reason this doesn't require test module names to be unique, but also makes test
modules non-importable by each other.
