It allows you to specify directories to prepend to sys.path or process as site directories, enabling tests to import modules from custom locations without modifying PYTHONPATH manually.\n\nHowever, this plugin is now obsolete. As of pytest 7.0.0, the same functionality is available natively via the `pythonpath` configuration option in pytest.ini, making this plugin unnecessary for any pytest version released since early 2022. The package is abandoned and receives no maintenance.","worth_installing":"No. If you are using pytest 7.0.0 or later (released January 2022), use pytest's native `pythonpath` config option instead. If you are stuck on an older pytest version, consider upgrading rather than adopting an abandoned plugin. There are no known security vulnerabilities, but the package receives no maintenance and its purpose is now redundant."},"id":"pytest-pythonpath","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-pythonpath","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-pythonpath.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pytest-pythonpath/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-02-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pytest-pythonpath","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"pytest plugin for adding to the PYTHONPATH from command line or configs."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":265618,"position":8321,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7.4"}
