31621	"Add ""--parallel=auto"" option to the ""test"" command."	Adam Johnson	Adam Johnson	"The `--parallel` flag to `test` is used as a binary ""on"" to mean ""on all cores."" But it also tries to parse the value after it as a number. This is annoying as there's no easy way to alias it as ""on"", since when adding a test name afterwards it is parsed as an integer:

{{{ 
$ python manage.py test --parallel example.core.tests.test_a
usage: manage.py test [-h] [--noinput] [--failfast] ...
manage.py test: error: argument --parallel: invalid int value: 'example.core.tests.test_a'
}}}

Pytest's xdist plugin supports the value ""auto"" to mean ""all cores."" I suggest we copy that."	New feature	closed	Testing framework	dev	Normal	fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
