Description
I'm using pytest with bazel. To get bazel to pick up the fact that a pytest test has failed you need to put this at the end of every *_test.py file:
if __name__ == "__main__":
sys.exit(pytest.main([__file__]))
(See https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_python/issues/240 )
It would be nice if this tool had an option to change the unittest-based snippet
if __name__ == "__main__":
unittest.main()
with the pytest one.

Research direction
Start by locating the rewrite handling for unittest.main and the command-line option parsing. Trace how the existing unittest-based snippet is transformed, then add an option for the pytest.main([file]) form. Done means the option rewrites the shown snippet correctly and the project's relevant tests pass.
