 py.test 
 --------------
 
-- compatilibity: honour/warn item.run() method of test items (so far
+- clarify setup/run events and runner.py versus pytest_runner.py, 
-  probably only execute() is warned about or the other way round)
+  introduce a general pytest_item_setup(item, setupstate)
+  and always isolate py._com.comregistry when py lib's own tests are run
 
-- introduce plugin arch, port existing things to plugins:
+- hook review and hook docs 
-  - importorskip 
-  - filelog 
-  - chtmpdir per method 
-  - apigen 
-  - xfail 
-  - acceptance/assertlines 
-  - dist-testing? 
-
-- introduce setuptools-style version checking, at least
-  for py lib itself, maybe also for other packages: 
-
-     py.checkversion("py>=1.0")
-
-- generative tests: it is somewhat misleading for 
-  the classical htmlviews that generated tests are identified 
-  by numbers rather than by its parameters.  unclear how
-  to fix this because we may not always be able to assume
-  that we can identify a generated tests by using its parameters
-  (it might not be hashable, doesn't have a sensical repr ...?)
 
 - turn deprecation / apiwarnings into events, report them at the end? 
 
-- get APIGEN back to work 
-
-- get web reporter back to work 
-
-- introduce decorator "shouldfail" or "xfail" 
-  as to mark a test as "expected to fail", 
-  report specially if it surprisingly passes 
-
 - nightly test runs on multiple platforms 
 
-- review and refactor architecture of py.test with particular
-  respect to: 
-  - writing (stacked) extensions / plugins (compared to Nose) 
-  - porting existing extensions (htmlconftest / buildbot / PyPy's conftest's ...) 
-  - fast and stable distributed testing 
-  - reliable cross-platform testing 
-
-- improve py.test documentation to reflect new
-  event architecture 
-
-- review and optimize skip-handling (it can be quite slow in
-  certain situations because e.g. setup/teardown is fully performed 
-  although we have "skip by keyword" and could detect this early)
-
 py.execnet
 --------------
 
 - cross-python version (2.2/2.3-2.5/6) and cross-platform testing of 
   setup/teardown semantics
 
-- optimize general setup and rsync timing? 
+py.test apigen plugin
+---------------------------
 
-py.apigen 
+- make it work again with the new plugin arch
-----------------
 
-- make it work again 
+packaging / svn-mercurial interaction
+--------------------------------------------
 
-see apigen_refactorings.txt
+- decide if to go with or without setuptools, check windows 2.6
+  availability 
 
-- check out CodeInvestigator 
+- open a mercurial branch for releases? 
-  http://codeinvestigator.googlepages.com/main
 
-  or other code that collects data from running a program 
+- write a script to dumb-bridge the mercurial repo to svn 
-  (in our case running the tests)
+  (i.e. forget about svn history)
 
-Criticism and solutions 
+1.1 and beyond 
---------------------------------
-"too big": 
-    - too much code, you need entire py lib, hard to include into app 
-      + have a small pytest boostrap that loads pylib.zip from net
-      + provide smaller script ala simpy 
-    - lots of cmdline options, possibilities, documentation
-      rather unsorted 
-
-"needless differences between py.test and nosetests":
-    - py.test.skip 
-    - raises  
-
-"tutorial structure missing", e.g.:
-    - "how to get started" in a minimal way, also how to use
-      existing conftests/plugins 
-    - how to configure py.test 
-    - how to write plugins/extensions 
-
-"too much magic"
-   - re-execution of assert expressions 
-     + rename "--nomagic" to something that turns off "superassertions" 
-     + hint at --tb=... 
-   - get rid of py/magic directory 
-
-has a good ui but could be better
-    - support developer communication, e.g. py.test
-      --sendfailures=freenode-pypy 
-      --sendfailures=pocoo # prints out paste.pocoo.url with traceback 
-    - graphical interface, probably QT 
-    - generally store test results and use them for subsequent calls 
-

 - py.test.pdb - there is my hack for a while now, which integrates
   rlcompleter2 with pdb. First of all it requires some strange changes
   to rlcompleter itself, which has no tests. Long-term plan would be
   to have pyrepl+rlcompleter2+pdb fixes integrated into pylib and
   have it tested. This requires work though.

---------------------------------
-- REDUCE "MAGICALNESS", from an IRC discussion with ronny:
-  - integration into IDEs
-  - python2.6/python3 compat? 
-  - initpkg exports
-  - assert reinterpretation 
-  - greenlet compiles at runtime only in "dev-mode"
-  - conftest's are "scary", hum, what about

-nicefications: 
-looponfailing shoudl nicely signal tests that failed but now PASS tests
-rename Node to itemtestloop
-refactor config and session tests to go into test_distsession.py 
-raises DID NOT RAISE: report the return value
-have node.shutdown perform out-of-band so that shutdowns happens more quickly
-tracebacks of importerrors of test modules should start with the test module file
