The ``pytest`` command now supresses the ``BrokenPipeError`` error message that
is printed to stderr when the output of ``pytest`` is piped and and the pipe is
closed by the piped-to program (common examples are ``less`` and ``head``).
Handle EPIPE/BrokenPipeError in pytest's CLI Running `pytest \| head -1` and similar causes an annoying error to be printed to stderr: Exception ignored in: <_io.TextIOWrapper name='<stdout>' mode='w' encoding='utf-8'> BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe (or possibly even a propagating exception in older/other Python versions). The standard UNIX behavior is to handle the EPIPE silently. To recommended method to do this in Python is described here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/signal.html#note-on-sigpipe It is not appropriate to apply this recommendation to `pytest.main()`, which is used programmatically for in-process runs. Hence, change pytest's entrypoint to a new `pytest.console_main()` function, to be used exclusively by pytest's CLI, and add the SIGPIPE code there.
