Good point we didn't consider the possibility of someone developing
multiple python apps in the same machine.
We will revisit this and start using
python -m pytest
as that should solve the problem

That is a flag that we didn't add to the script bug we will review the
patch with that

We can see what we can do about this point

If we use the flag -q the output is smaller. We can add that too

Can you provide some log of the failing tests?

Out lapse, will do that
