[Python-modules-team] Bug#943454: python-jellyfish: autopkgtest fails if more than one supported python version

Package: python-jellyfish
Version: 0.6.1-1
Severity: important

Hi Diego,

The python-jellyfish autopkgtest is failing in Ubuntu now that python3.8 has
been added to the list of supported pythons there.  The reason is that the
autopkgtest simply isn't safe in the face of multiple python versions and
fails with:

[...]
cp: 'testdata' and '/tmp/autopkgtest.jUi2oO/autopkgtest_tmp/testdata' are the same file
[...]

  (http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/p/python-jellyfish/focal/amd64)

The attached patch takes care of separating the setup from the
per-python-version test run, so that it doesn't fail trying to copy the
testdata to itself.

Cheers,
