Skipping import modules in pytest from the command line

The documentation for pytest suggests you can skip certain imports:

https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/skipping.html#skipping-on-a-missing-import-dependency

We are trying to run pylint under pytest and in some cases importing tensorflow causes issues because of system dependencies. The documentation shows a way of skipping the import in code, is it possible to skip imports like this from the command line of pytest?

There is no such feature in pytest, so you should do this directly in code (usually in a conftest.py).

A hacky workaround to do the same directly at the command line woud be:

python -c "import pytest; pytest.importorskip('tensorflow'); pytest.main()"

Better would be to use one of the existing hooks to add your own command-line option to pytest, so it can be specified clearly like --no-tensorflow or whatever.
