Description

File requirements.txt doesn't specify a version for pytest-timeout which will download the latest. Any version >1.4.2 requires pytest >5 and we're pinned at 3.6.4 atm. A fresh install will download and attempt to use the latest pytest-timeout version and fail:

Collecting pytest-timeout
 Using cached pytest_timeout-2.0.2-py3-none-any.whl (11 kB)
ERROR: pytest-timeout 2.0.2 has requirement pytest>=5.0.0, but you'll have pytest 3.6.4 which is incompatible.

it isn't currently failing on local and CI envs bc v1.4.2 is usually cached in the system and the automatic fallback to 1.4.2 prevents it.

The solution is to pin the version to 1.4.2
