Originally reported by: Jurko Gospodnetić (BitBucket: jurko, GitHub: jurko)

When running a test suite using pytest and its xdist plugin without using xdist's -f command-line option, red/green console output text color gets displayed correctly. However, when running the same test suite using the same pytest command-line options plus the additional -f command line (to loop on failure) - all output text gets displayed in regular gray color.

Environment:

#!text
Windows 7 x64 SP1
Python 2.7.6
pytest 2.5.1
pytest-xdist-1.9
regular Windows cmd.exe command prompt console

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Original comment by holger krekel (BitBucket: hpk42, GitHub: hpk42):

it's a known limitation of the --looponfailing mode. Maybe @RonnyPfannschmidt can tell if his work on refactoring looponfail (IIRC) would fix that.

Seems related to #133

different kinds of issue tho, this one cna be fixed after merging pytest-cache

since then looponfail can be implemented as a loop with a watch and plain subprocess invocations

Closing as stalled, the looponfail mode will be removed from xdist soon

normalize numeric literals (pytest-dev#454)
cc48bc5 
Fixes pytest-dev#452

I ended up making a couple of other normalizations to numeric literals
too (lowercase everything, don't allow leading or trailing . in floats,
remove redundant + sign in exponent). I don't care too much about those,
so I'm happy to change the behavior there.

For reference, here is Python's grammar for numeric literals:

For anyone who comes here looking for colours 🌈
