This PR proposes to add pytest-xdist to the lists of dependencies to allow developers to run the tests out of the box, without having to manually install pytest-xdist.
When I first checked out the repo and tried to run the tests, I was met by an error: unrecognized arguments: -n4. I'm guessing that this argument was added to pytest.ini to enable multithreaded test execution through pytest-xdist? If so, I added it as a dependency in pydevtool.txt so that developers should be able to run the tests directly after following the development setup instructions.
I also added it to the tests_require list in setup.py because it seemed like the right thing to do. I'm not really a python dev though, so this is mostly a guess.
