- pytester was creating a 'pexpect' directory to serve as temporary dir, but due to the fact that
xdist adds the current directory to sys.path, that directory was being considered as candidate
for import as a package. The directory is empty and a warning was being raised about
it missing __init__ file, which is now turned into an error by our filterwarnings config
in pytest.ini.
- Decided to play it safe and ignore any warnings during `pytest.importorskip`.
- pytest-xdist and execnet raise two warnings which should be fixed upstream:
