Hi, is there a reason why the `config` option is not supported under `[pytest]` like most other tools?

Pytest does support providing it specifically using `-c` so probably an oversight, or that `config` was added to a subsystem _after_ `pytest` was supported, and we never thought to go back and add it.

Wanna file an issue?
And wanna fix it? We're happy to help if you need it :slightly_smiling_face:

Pants will auto-discover `pytest.ini` in your repository. <https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/python-test-goal#config-files>. Is that sufficient for your purposes?

<@U02KAN6061E> Thx. I would be happy to help. I'll open an issue and try to fix it.

<@U0N6C2Q9F> Yes, it's just that I would prefer to have all my configuration files in one place.

oh yeah, when we added this, I thought they only supported auto-discovery and didn't have a `-c` option. It would be great to support it :slightly_smiling_face: I'm happy to add some instructions on the ticket
