Directly calling "pytest" sometimes breaks tests on "pypy", such as pypa#234, because the actual current code is untested. As explained from pypy website <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/usage.html>: > ["python -m pytest"] is almost equivalent to invoking the command line > script pytest [...] directly, except that calling via python will also > add the current directory to sys.path. Note that, unlike tests for pypy, the pytest script is not directly invoked in tests for other Python interpreters.
