(I'm curious): any reason these are manually listed instead of using find_packages

@RonnyPfannschmidt would you like to fix the CI so we can merge this?

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

@nicoddemus yes, but im not sure i an get to it before wednesday

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

oh wait, its simple

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

my git repo for pytest got broken, will fix later

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

there will be followups

[nicoddemus]

OK, thanks for working on this.

Btw, what's the motivation? config.py is too large, or is there another motivation?

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

@nicoddemus its too large to comprehensible figure a path towards non-broken configuration initialization (currently it is broken and only accidentally works for normal usage, its worse under xdist)

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

@nicoddemus in addition working towards support for toml is also tricky

[nicoddemus]

OK thanks! Just checking if there was another motivation besides making it more manageable/understandable (and there is: toml and sanitize initialization)

[nicoddemus]

LGTM! 👍

[nicoddemus]

@asottile anything else you want to take a look here?

[asottile]

nope! all good from me

[nicoddemus]

@asottile want to do the honors and approve/merge this then? 😁
