This is intended to find the most popular 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”. Many popular packages, such as “hypothesis”, will therefore not be in the list.
Counts are the number of downloads over 30 days.
