mozunit is currently not installable via pip, which means that it can't be listed as a dependency in a Pipfile. Once bug 1313547 is resolved, I would like to install mozunit via pipenv to help solve bug 1388013. I've experimented locally by simply creating /config/mozunit/mozunit/mozunit.py (and associated setup.py, __init__py, etc) with some success.

ahal: Is there any reason we shouldn't do this? Would it perhaps also make sense to move this to /python?

Tbh, I think I'd prefer if mozunit just didn't exist. Right now we do `subprocess.call(['python', 'path/to/test']). Then in the test's __main__ we call mozunit.main(). Then in mozunit.main() we call pytest.main(). I think this setup is only for legacy reasons, and I don't see why we couldn't just run `subprocess.call(['pytest', 'path/to/test'])` directly from python/mach_commands.py in the first place. Though I think if we went the remove mozunit route, we'd have to block on bug 1395630. Otherwise, I don't think there's any reason not to add a setup.py.

I think you just need to add `config/mozunit` to `build/virtualenv_packages.txt`. ::: config/mozunit/mozunit/mozunit.py:1 (Diff revision 1) > +# This Source Code Form is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public I can't tell from this diff, but please make sure this was moved with `hg mv` to preserve history (drop this issue if it was). ::: config/mozunit/setup.py:1 (Diff revision 1) > +# This Source Code Form is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public Please also move the `mozunit` tests under `config/test` to this directory (and make sure they pass)
