Description
Hi,
I am looking for if there is a way to allow certain group of tests to run sequentially only while other tests continue to run in parallel using -n (xdist).
I have a group of tests that cannot be executed in parallel (small set of tests only in the whole). I do not want to create another job to run without -n for these small set. I searched but did not find actual solution anywhere.
The versions I am using are:
pytest-xdist 1.20.1
pytest 3.2.5
Python 2.7.13
Thanks in advance.

Research direction
Review the 34-comment discussion and the pytest-xdist -n execution behavior before choosing an implementation path. Define how a subset of tests would be identified and how completion would be verified: those tests run sequentially while the remaining tests continue in parallel, without requiring another job.
