Just to be totally clear on what I meant: It's not about the "python" package. I'm specifically talking about "python3-pytest" package. Pytest is a test-runner for Python. It's fully written using python. The "python3-pytest" package contains a fixed pytest version. However there are newer pytest versions available on pip that are compatible with the "python" package shipped by Debian. It sounds like us supporting the official python3-pytest version is the heavily preferred approach.
