The test command and related function were deprecated for 5 years
and it seems the time has come: setuptools maintainers removed it
yesterday and that move has broken a bunch of Python packages
including this. After looking into several documentations and our source
code, I think the right thing to do - instead of making a workaround - is
completely removing it from our setup.py file as it hasn't been used for
a long time - correct me if I am wrong here and missed something!!
Some details:
Integration with setuptools is not recommended, i.e. you should not be using python setup.py test or pytest-runner, and may stop working in the future.
