pytest dependency is in tests_require so setuptools doesn't use it during 
install. Only calling test command, setuptools will attempt to obtain 
dependencies listed there if they are not installed (in this case the required 
dependency will not be installed on the system)

So to reply to your question, how pyjwt is able to build, it's because pytest 
version was always ok in Stretch as you can see from CI results: 

    https://ci.debian.net/packages/p/pyjwt/unstable/amd64/

I will had a version constraint for pytest to support backport in Jessie.

Kind regards,
