Borrowed from mocha.

Installation

pip install pytest-only

Disable for single test run

To run all the tests, regardless of whether @pytest.mark.only is used, pass the --no-only flag to pytest:

$ py.test --no-only

If --no-only has already been passed (perhaps by way of addopts in pytest.ini), use the --only flag to re-enable it:

$ py.test --no-only --only
