Hi,

As of pytest 3.0.0-1:-

 pytest (3.0.0-1) experimental; urgency=medium

   pytest dropped all versioned py.test-X.Y entrypoints. If you need to run a
   test suite with a specific Python version, please use `pythonX.Y -m pytest`
   instead.

You need to call pytest differently. The tests fail like-

 autopkgtest [11:16:12]: test unittests: - - - - - - - - - - results - - - - - - - - - -
 unittests FAIL non-zero exit status 127
 autopkgtest [11:16:12]: test unittests: - - - - - - - - - - stderr - - - - - - - - - -

See:

There's a diff for this attached.

Cheers,
