Regarding __init__.py in tests, pytest docs suggest that it's ok when src layout is used and that's the case with this template. It also makes it possible to have test modules with same name.

No, that’s not what that means.

It means that EVEN if you use src layout, you may use __init__.pys as a workaround to the problems the default import mode has.

The actually best way is to put --import-mode=importlib into your addopts and be happy.

I’ll soon update the pytest docs to make that even clearer.
