Do you run tests as part of the packaging? I know that Christoph does
that for Debian. If so I guess pytest should be installed from an
official rpm package, not pip. I'm mostly curious whether we need to
support the python3-pytest package from the AppStream repo (enabled by
default), or if supporting the python3.11-pytest, python3.12, or
python3.14-pytest from the CRB repo (disabled by default) is
sufficient. The python3-pytest package has a very old pytest version:
6.2.2

CC-ing Christoph for a similar question: I guess the pytest in the
debian release needs to be supported for you to actually run the tests
when packaging?
