Is your feature request related to a use case or problem?
Currently, the Pytest configuration is such that the default is to run all tests, including slow ones, and the user has to add -m "not slow" to skip the slow tests. The slow tests are really slow in my environment, and on those times when I forget to use the flag, it wastes my time and makes me gnash my teeth. Most other projects flip the sense: the default is fast (because that's what devs want) and you add a flag to run the slow tests. IMHO we should do that in OpenFermion too.
When making this change, we should remember to make any necessary updates to the CI workflow too.
What solution or approach do you envision?
Update conftest.py to define a "slow" flag instead of a "not slow" flag, and make other changes as needed to make it work.
How urgent is this for you?
None
