Removal of pytest upper pin

[braingram]

Is there a plan for removing the pytest upper pin?

zarr-python/pyproject.toml

Lines 76 to 78 in ee0e69a

	# Pin possibly due to https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-cov/issues/693
	"pytest<8.4",
	"pytest-asyncio<1.2.0",

Thanks!

Thanks for opening a PR removing the pytest pin. Is the pytest-asyncio pin also needed?

FWIW I am trying to use the zarr.testing.StoreTests harness to update a package to zarr 3 and not having to track these pins would be helpful (if they're not needed).

i'm not sure why the asyncio pin is there -- I bet that could also be removed.

#3619 is in, hopefully that unblocks you @braingram

Thanks! Based on your response I removed the pins and was able to get the test harness working: asdf-format/asdf-zarr#58
I did have to add:

asyncio_mode = "auto"
asyncio_default_fixture_loop_scope = "function"

to the pyproject.toml file. Without those setting I was getting pytest failures which I was incorrectly attributing to incorrect versions.
The test harness is very helpful!
