Pytest workflow #1

Context and Problem Statement

We need to test Python packages we are writing.

Decision Drivers

flexibility (allowing unit and integration tests)
convenience (allowing debugging and integration with GH Actions)

Considered Options

unittest (in Python standard library)
pytest (commonly used package with more testing features including debugging and GH Actions integration)

Decision

We should use pytest as this will allow us to fix bugs easily and run tests on github.

Further questions

For packages which need to to be flexible across multiple environments, we should think about using tox to test in different environments.
