[pytest 7.0] Make --version write to stdout rather than stderr

[nicoddemus]

Fix #8246

[bluetech]

We might want to keep this until pytest 7? In case someone already relies on the stderr behavior, which will break now, and there isn't really any way to provide backward compat.

Anyway, either decision is fine by me.

Hmm good point. I'm fine on waiting for pytest 7. @RonnyPfannschmidt ?

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

i agree

[nicoddemus]

Done, thanks!

[nicoddemus]

Just bumped into this.

@The-Compiler what do you think about getting this into 7.0.0rc1?

[The-Compiler]

Seems fine to me, given that it's been reviewed and is simple enough. Maybe rebase though, so that the CI can run against it again?

[nicoddemus]

Sure, rebased! 👍

[nicoddemus]

oops ignore that, I got it wrong.

[The-Compiler]

Looks like you rebased before pulling my lastest changes in main or something 😉

[nicoddemus]

Done now. 😁

The classic "origin/main" vs "upstream/main" hehehe 😉

Bit of a nit, but this shows up as having been done in the 8.0 milestone, instead of 7.0 (the version with which it now will be released). Same for #7870.

[nicoddemus]

Thanks @h-vetinari, fixed!

[The-Compiler]

Me: Huh, that seems quite exotic, why would someone rely on this behavior?

Also me: Relies on that behavior in integration tests for a coverage checking script 🤣
