Package: src:python-argh
Version: 0.26.2-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I was attempting a local backport of the testing version of python-argh to
jessie and it failed to build with the following error:

I did some investigation and hookimpl is available in pytest versions newer
than 2.8.0. See [1] for another module that had the same issue.
Fortunately for me there is already a pytest 3.0.3 backport available. Once I
installed that manually, the package builds fine on jessie. Please document
the miniumum version requirement for python-pytest and python3-pytest in the
package build-depends.
