Description

I want to install pytest for Python 3.8.2 on my MacBook. On my terminal I initially ran pip3 install pytest. Then when I entered pytest -v, the test session started, but has stopped indefinitely at "collecting..." I've tried this a couple of times. Any suggestions?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported environment: Python 3.8.2 on macOS, installed with pip3, followed by pytest -v stopping at "collecting...". The report names no files or tests, so gather a minimal reproduction and determine which collection step hangs; done means identifying a reproducible cause or obtaining the missing project and test details.
