Milestone
Our version of pytest was pinned to a very old version for back compatibility with Python 2.7.
Now that we have dropped support for 2.7, we can upgrade pytest to versions that support Python 3.6 and above.
While technically, 7.0.1 may work, there have been issues reported with Python 3.10 (cc @jredrejo), so it seems safer to upgrade to 6.2.5, as we would not be able to upgrade to newer versions of the 7 series, as they drop support for Python 3.6, which we still support.
We would also need to update any pytest plugins, and remove the existing patching of pytest for Python 3.10 compatibility.
