You could have a look at what I've done in pydevd (soon to be removed
from the archive), which was a complex case. But I'd suggest using
the syntax
--deselect=tests/test_file.py::test_testname
instead of -k; it can be given multiple times, and as long as there
are no spaces or weird characters in the test names (for example,
tests/test_file.py::test_testname[this is a parameter]), it works fine
when stored as a shell variable and then expanded without quotes.
Best wishes,
