This is intended to find the most popular (as determined by download count) pytest plugins, as plugins usually have “pytest” in the name.

The list is generated from hugovk’s Top PyPI Packages, which is filtered for “pytest”. There’s also a filter for deprecated and unmaintained plugins. See source code details.

Counts are the number of downloads over 30 days.
