## AI interpretation — verify before relying

pytest-django integrates Django with pytest, allowing you to write and run Django tests using pytest's fixtures, plugins, and streamlined syntax instead of Django's built-in test runner.

Verdict: pytest-django is a mature, actively maintained plugin (1543 stars, released 3 days ago) with permissive BSD licensing and low install friction. It bridges Django and pytest cleanly with a single dependency. No known vulnerabilities. Suitable for teams wanting pytest's fixture model and plugin ecosystem for Django testing.
