The python tests are separate. USES=pytest is not valid, it should be
USE_PYTHON=pytest. The tests work fine for me.

This port should also be built with USE_PYTHON=pep517, not distutils.
To make this happen, the port also needs:
BUILD_DEPENDS= ${PY_SETUPTOOLS} \

${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}wheel>0:devel/py-wheel@${PY_FLAVOR}
