Dear maintainer,

My package ocrmypdf uses py.test, but it needs pytest-runner to
successfully run the tests if the package is not already installed.
pybuild's current support for invoking py.test fails if ocrmypdf is not
yet installed.

I am currently using this:

    override_dh_auto_test:
        python3 setup.py test

plus a build-dependency on python3-pytest-runner, but I am not sure
whether this is the standard way to invoke pytest-runner.  Some further
discussion is here.[1]

Thanks.

Hi Sean (2016.09.15_00:55:08_-0400)

tox is a good way to test against an installed version of the module.
