30415	Refactor runtests.py to allow using other test runners.	Daniel Hahler	nobody	"I think it would be very nice if pytest could be used to run Django's tests.

I've started working on this, by using a pytest plugin/conftest, which reuses parts from `tests/runtests.py`, which I've therefore started to make more modular (https://github.com/django/django/pull/11289).

It is not meant to replace the current test runner (or tests), but would just allow to use pytest out of the box seamlessly, with all the additional features and plugins it provides.

Is this something that is wanted in general?"	New feature	closed	Testing framework	dev	Normal	needsinfo			Someday/Maybe	0	0	0	0	0	0
