[PATCH 0/2] Add new pytest for special cases |

We package version 2.7.3 of pytest, which was released in September
2015. I guess that Python development moves very quickly, because there
are already some packages whose test suites require a newer version of
pytest.
Notably, the most recent release of Borg, 1.0.8, requires something
called 'tmpdir_factory', which was introduced in pytest 2.8 [0]. You can
see this by building Borg on core-updates, where Python 3.5 makes the
test suite run (it never ran on master with Python 3.4).
I'd really prefer to run the Borg tests, so I want to add a newer
release of pytest and use it with Borg.
I've been testing pytest upgrades locally, and there is some breakage,
so I think we should not try to upgrade it for all packages in this
core-updates cycle. Instead, I want to build on Hartmut's
wip-python-build-system to upgrade the core Python packages after this
core-updates cycle.
WDYT?
