Running tests in a Python subprocess
====================================
To instantiate a ``python3.9`` subprocess and send tests to it, you may type::
pytest -d --tx popen//python=python3.9
This will start a subprocess which is run with the ``python3.9``
Python interpreter, found in your system binary lookup path.
If you prefix the --tx option value like this::
--tx 3*popen//python=python3.9
then three subprocesses would be created and tests
will be load-balanced across these three processes.
