make test-python-setup

# Run all Python tests
make test-python

# Run specific categories
pytest tests/ -m concurrency -v    # Multi-process concurrency tests
pytest tests/ -m integration -v    # Basic integration tests

# For PGRX development (custom port)
DB_PORT=28817 ./scripts/run-python-tests.sh
