it doesn't have to be either-or; pytest can deal with unittest tests, with some limitations. See here for some notes: https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/unittest.html so you can try out what you have under pytest, and if liking it, can begin to transition to more native pytest - or just keep it as the test runner, or just stick with unittest. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
