Several pytest ebuilds include dev-python/setuptools as a build-time dependency. However, imports from the module "pkg_resources" which is part of setuptools[1]. Therefore, if setuptools is not installed on the system, pytest cannot be run, neither with "python -m pytest", not with the "pytest" command. The issue is reproducible with pytest-3.0.3. The following version have not been checked, but are probably also affected: dev-python/pytest-3.0.6 dev-python/pytest-3.0.7 dev-python/pytest-3.1.2 dev-python/pytest-3.2.2 dev-python/pytest-2.7.2 [1] https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install dev-python/pytest 2. Remove dev-python/setuptools 3. Run "pytest"
I am currently working to patch this.
