finding in my bash history (!) the right tox/pytest/test_foo.sh
incantation. No surprise maintainers have to beg for test(s) all the
time ;-P

Testing

diffoscope's test suite relies on `pytest <https://docs.pytest.org/>`__;

to run all tests use ``pytest[-3]``. For faster interactive development

here's an example of how to run a (much) smaller subset of tests:



    pytest  -v --exitfirst -k lib tests/comparators/test_elf.pyc [ --pdb ]



More options in `pytest -h`.



Add a comparator
