Installs as plugin.py

[jayvdb]

This plugin is installing as top level name plugin , which conflicts with other pytest plugins .. perhaps there is some common template being used?

It is also quite confusing to see backtraces like

  File "/path/to/site-packages/plugin.py", line 24, in pytest_configure
    for testpath in config.args:
AttributeError: 'Config' object has no attribute 'args'

This seems more like a problem of the installer putting the module directly into the site-packages directory. Which installer are you using to get the module there?

I am running setup.py install

I tried it myself and even pip install pytest-remove-stale-bytecode has this behavior.
So the easiest thing should be to rename plugin.py to something like pytest_remove_stale_bytecode.py.

A pull request is welcome.

Was the filename used in this plugin choosen by a template/tool like cookiecutter? I am certain that I have seen this issue before, but I think I neglected to raise an issue as it was an isolated problem in a plugin that didnt seem especially useful to me personally. If so, we should check whether it has been fixed in the tool.

The first commit (538058f) does not tell anything about the source of the skeleton used to create this project. Maybe it was created using an early version of https://github.com/pytest-dev/cookiecutter-pytest-plugin. But the current version of this packages does not seem to have this problem.
