Dear maintainer,

your package fails the autopkgtest with the new pytest 7.3 because
python/test/unit/function/test_function_space.py uses a bytes object
(b""" literal) as module docstring, and pytest crashes while looking for
the "PYTEST_DONT_REWRITE" marker.

As far as I understand, using a bytes() object as docstring violates
PEP-257, which is why I am filing this as a dolfin bug and not a pytest
regression. I have Cc'd the debian-python mailing list for a second
opinion, but I believe this bug should be resolved by getting rid of the
erroneous "b" prefix.


Cheers
Timo
