Description
I think it would be nice if pytest =(echo "def test_foo: pass") would work, i.e. it should consider any explicitly passed in file arguments for collection. (Zsh creates a temporary file here).
Also using -o 'python_files=*' does not appear to help here.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the explicit-file command pytest =(echo "def test_foo: pass") and compare it with -o 'python_files=*'; read the related issue #4452 for context. Done means explicitly passed file arguments are collected, including the temporary file created by zsh.
