Remove obsolete test code in runtests.py - #63
Merged
Conversation
The script runtests.py contains an archive of a very old version of pytest along with a custom mechanism to import it. That used to be the standard method of running tests (so I hear, anyway), but now it's no longer relevant because we use tox for dependency management in testing. So I'm removing the script. Having a large opaque blob of data is not the greatest thing :-)

For future reference, if anyone reading this wants to find out what's in that opaque blob, you can apply this patch and then run
runtests.py, and it will write out the enclosed Python code into the directoryruntests/so you can read it.
