It is possible to explicitly tell pybuild to use pytest for testing; see
the PYBUILD_TEST_PYTEST variable that I use e.g. in
https://sources.debian.org/src/confget/2.3.4-1/debian/rules/#L33 and
the following couple of lines. I expect that in this case you'd want to
set the PYBUILD_TEST_ARGS variable to the arguments that pytest will be
invoked with, e.g. -k 'not something' to exclude certain tests and maybe
the path to the unit tests directory and, if really necessary,
--rootdir.

I'm sorry, I cannot do any actual tests with your package right now.
If you run into problems, I could fetch it from your Git repository and
try a couple of things, but it will have to wait a day or two.

Hope that helps!

G'luck,
Peter
