Запустите часть модульных тестов Python на удаленной машине Linux с хоста Windows.

Мой окончательный проект использует ssh и многопроцессорность вместо xdist (в функции execute_tc()):

import multiprocessing
import test_functions

def test_example_message(self):
"""Example test case"""
    # to get IPs, usernames, passwords, other required data
    config = get_test_config('example_message')
    # will take care of threading and executing parts
    result_dict = execute_tc(config)
    # to fail or not to fail. take care of proper reporting
    process_results(result_dict)

def execute_tc(config):
"""Execute test code in parallel"""
    # create shared results dictionary
    manager = multiprocessing.Manager()
    result_dict = manager.dict({})
    # create processes
    processes = []
    for func, platform, args in config:
        function = getattr(test_functions, func)
        worker = multiprocessing.Process(target=function, args=[result_dict, platform, args])
        worker.daemon = True
        worker.start()
        processes.append(worker)

    for process in processes:
        process.join()

    return result_dict

def execute_tc(config):
"""Execute test code in parallel"""
    # create shared results dictionary
    manager = multiprocessing.Manager()
    result_dict = manager.dict({})
    # create processes
    processes = []
    for func, platform, args in config:
        function = getattr(test_functions, func)
        worker = multiprocessing.Process(target=function, args=[result_dict, platform, args])
        worker.daemon = True
        worker.start()
        processes.append(worker)

    for process in processes:
        process.join()

    return result_dict

Я думаю, вы изменили метод выполнения тестового примера для выполнения определенных тестовых случаев.
