Updates pytest from 8.4.2 to 9.2.0

Release notes

Sourced from pytest's releases.

9.2.0

pytest 9.2.0 (2026-10-27)

Removals and backward incompatible breaking changes

• #14716: -c now raises a usage error for a path that does not exist, is a directory, or is in a format pytest has no loader for. Such paths were previously either ignored or reported as an unhandled FileNotFoundError.

• #8593: The indirect, ids and scope arguments of Metafunc.parametrize() <pytest.Metafunc.parametrize> -- and therefore of @pytest.mark.parametrize <pytest.mark.parametrize ref> -- are now keyword-only.

  Passing them positionally was a common source of confusing errors, e.g. parametrize("arg1", "arg2", [(1, 2)]) made the argvalues land in indirect and failed with indirect fixture '(1, 2)' doesn't exist; such mistakes now fail with an understandable TypeError. The type annotations have always declared these arguments as keyword-only.

• #993: Plugin import failures at startup are now reported and classified instead of escaping as a raw traceback with the accidental exit code 1:

  • a plugin that cannot be found -- via -p, pytest_plugins or PYTEST_PLUGINS -- exits with pytest.ExitCode USAGE_ERROR (4), like a conftest.py that fails to import;
  • a plugin that is found but raises while importing -- including a broken pytest11 entry point or a missing plugin dependency -- exits with pytest.ExitCode INTERNAL_ERROR (3), with the traceback preserved.

  pytest.main now returns these codes instead of raising ImportError. Also fixed an IndexError from pytest's own internals when the plugin raised an exception with no arguments.

Deprecations (removal in next major release)

• #14742: The private _pytest.python.CallSpec2 name has been renamed to CallSpec. The old CallSpec2 alias remains available for now and will be removed in pytest 10 or 11.

• #14755: Schedule yield_fixture decorator for removal in pytest 10 or 11.

• #14774: Similarly to the deprecation of class-scoped fixtures defined as instance methods in pytest 9.1, all higher-scoped fixtures (module, package, and session) defined as instance methods are now deprecated.

  They suffer from the same issue the original deprecation only fixed for class-scoped fixtures, see 10819 and 14011.

• #14808: Passing a non-string value to a string-typed ini option now emits a pytest.PytestRemovedIn10Warning. This affects [tool.pytest.ini_options] in pyproject.toml. In pytest 10 this will raise a TypeError, matching the behavior of the corresponding TOML config path.

• #7323: Passing bytes to TerminalReporter.write_line() is now deprecated, pass a str instead.

New features

• #14743: Full diff: now contains a legend explaining the + & - symbols in diff output.
• #2781: When strict_markers is enabled, marker names used in -m expressions are now validated against registered markers.
• #6881: Added the parametrize_long_str_id_strategy configuration option to control how long str/bytes parameter values are handled in auto-generated test IDs. Explicit IDs set via ids=[...] or pytest.param(..., id=...) are not affected. Available strategies: short (default, values over 100 chars fall back to argname+index), sha256 (SHA-256 hex digest), legacy (keep full value), and disallow (error requesting explicit IDs).

Improvements in existing functionality

• #10745: A RecursionError whose recursion origin cannot be located now shows only the first and last 10 stack frames, matching what pytest already did when locating the origin failed outright. Previously the full traceback -- often around a thousand near-identical frames -- was rendered, which was both slow and unreadable. Pass --full-trace to see every frame.

Updates scapy from 2.7.0 to 2.8.0

Release notes

Sourced from scapy's releases.

v2.8.0

Hi everyone. This release is a bit different, as it is heavily focused on security fixes as we are clearing our backlog of AI-Assisted reports. We have also clarified the guidelines around AI, contributions and security reports. To contributors, feel free to reach out if you haven't heard back from us in a whilte !

Deprecation notice

• This major version will be the last to support Python 3.7 and 3.8. While this was initially planned for 2.7.0, support was extended because of how used those versions still were. They have been EoL for more than 2 years, and we highly encourage remaining users to upgrade.

A note about contributing guidelines

We have clarified our CONTRIBUTING and SECURITY guidelines. This notably includes some new guidance related to the use of AI, and some instructions regarding the submission of security issues. We encourage contributors to take a moment to read the updated versions.

Security

Scapy has taken part in OpenAI + Trail of Bits collab's initiative called "Patch the Planet". As part of this initiative, we have received a free security coverage of our code overseen by KernelClint (Trail of Bits) and multiple OpenAI agents. This has led to the discovery of around 130+ bugs, among which were 54 issues that could be considered related to security, with various degrees of severity. You can find a partial list on https://github.com/secdev/scapy/security/advisories and here but please bear in mind that some reports have been written entirely by AI.

After analysis, we have marked 5 vulnerabilities with a "High" level of impact, which justify an immediate upgrade to 2.8.0, or backporting if packaged by downstream repositories:

• Patch the Planet: arbitrary read of on-disk files while parsing TLS packets
• Patch the Planet: out-of-band read while receiving packets through libpcap
• Patch the Planet: A malicious SMB directory entry makes recursive downloads overwrite arbitrary local files
• Patch the Planet: SMB server mishandling of share case insensitivity leads to default folder always being served
• Patch the Planet: A zero-width NetFlow template keeps NetflowSession running forever

The other issues have been triaged as "Moderate" or "Low" and don't justify immediate action from users or downstream package maintainers (those include crashes, issues in various protocol implementations, automatons and answering machines, mis-implementations of protocols like our TLS stack, etc. but nothing that leads to a potential compromission of the host machine).

We would like to thank again OpenAI and Trail of Bits (and in particular @​KernelClint) for this opportunity and the time spent on this project.
