In most cases, Pybuild isn't very helpful for running tests and fails in
the most common traps (like the one I'm solving for you below), which is
why I don't really think it's useful at all. YMMV...

Most of the time, you get by this doing:
PYTHONPATH=$(CURDIR) python -m pytest tests

If this doesn't work (maybe because you need the egg-info which isn't in
the tarball, or otherwise...), then get the package installed first:

python setup.py install --install-layout=deb \
	--root $(CURDIR)/debian/tmp
PYTHONPATH=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp python -m pytest tests

In the case of apscheduler, simply defining PYTHONPATH=. is enough, then
unit tests failing are those trying to connect to a local redis server
which may be fixed by manually starting redis-server from your
debian/rules (take care: you *must* start it on a non-standard port or
unix file-socket, and get your unit tests to use that non-standard port,
otherwise you'll be in trouble either in sbuild, or in non-sbuild).

By doing the above, I was able to run *all* of the unit tests of
apscheduler (ie: 404 tests, minus the 7 tests which got automatically
skipped).

I hope this helps, even though you probably will not maintain this
package. Hopefully, it will help you for the next one! :)

Cheers,
