Markers cannot be registered in setup.cfg

I've tried registering a mark in setup.cfg, but it appears to be ignored.

Adding it to pytest.ini works, but I was under the impression, that setup.cfg should work in the same way - given a [pytest] section.

The following comment from Holger mentions this: #567/use-of-pytest-in-setupcfg-collides-with#comment-12111803

Hi, could you actually give a concrete example? Only one of setup.cfg, tox.ini, pytest.ini should have a [pytest] setting otherwise some will be ignored. Might this be happening here?

@blueyed ping? since we didn't use the @ references you probably didn't notice here

The pytest.ini was / should have been empty (I like to use setup.cfg for everything), and there is no [pytest] section in tox.ini.

But I cannot reproduce it now on the 2.7 branch nor master.

Therefore I am closing this issue for now.
