Feedback about --import-mode=importlib in pytest 6.0
See original GitHub issueThis issue is a placeholder to gather feedback from users about the new --import-mode=importlib introduced in pytest 6.0.
It is our intention to change the default to importlib in future versions, and perhaps even eliminate the other --import-mode options (prepend and append).

We are planning to rewrite our pytest support thanks to guidance from the pytest team, so even if we were messing up it should be resolved in the future. 😄
Thanks everyone for the feedback.
Based on your feedback, it is clear that we should not change the
importmodedefault toimportlib, as it has its own set of drawbacks, not making it a clear winner, and changing the default would severely impact a lot of test suites.Closing this issue then, feel free to open new issues to discuss specific topics related to
--import-mode. 👍
