Modernize/improve various development things

[The-Compiler]

I noticed a couple of things while picking up work on pytest-qt again:

• [ ] One test uses tmpdir instead of tmp_path
• [ ] All tests use testdir instead of pytester
• [ ] We might want to switch from autoflake/pyupgrade/black/flake8 to ruff?
• [ ] We should switch from setup.py to a pyproject.toml (and maybe uv?)
• [ ] License PyPI classifiers are deprected, we should use a SPDX license
• [ ] We should force colored pytest output on GitHub Actions
• [ ] We should have type annotations and use mypy on CI (and then probably add py.typed too)

Thoughts? We should probably split this into more bite-sized issues, just writing down what went through my head before I forget everything again.

Thanks!

Seems sensible to follow pytest's lead here.

I would love that, but I recall some effort in that direction in the past, and at the time we hit some problems due to qt_compat, as the actual classes change at import time. But we should give it a go again.

Other than the above, all sound good to me.

Sure thing, that's great.

Not sure we need, I would be perfectly OK with PRs that solve one or more of those issues (in separate commits of course). We then close this issue when the last item of that list is checked.

On the other hand it might be a good opportunity to use that new "Create sub-issue" button. 😁

One more: master -> main 😉
