[Python 3.12] Assertion rewriting triggers DeprecationWarning
What's the problem this feature will solve?
As of pytest 7.3.1, the classes ast.Str and ast.NameConstant are used in assertion rewriting. Their use has been deprecated in Python 3.8. These classes will emit a DeprecationWarning starting with Python 3.12.
When a user runs pytest 7.3.1 on Python 3.12and pytest collects a test with an assert statement, the test will show deprecation warnings.
Describe the solution you'd like
Pytest does not trigger a DeprecationWarning when running tests on Python 3.12.
Tested with pytest 7.3.1 on Python 3.12 (commit 0aeda29793):
test_anything.py
def test_a():
assert True
$ pytest
