It is possible to explicitly tell pybuild to use pytest for testing; see the PYBUILD_TEST_PYTEST variable that I use e.g. in https://sources.debian.org/src/confget/2.3.4-1/debian/rules/#L33 and the following couple of lines. I expect that in this case you'd want to set the PYBUILD_TEST_ARGS variable to the arguments that pytest will be invoked with, e.g. -k 'not something' to exclude certain tests and maybe the path to the unit tests directory and, if really necessary, --rootdir. I'm sorry, I cannot do any actual tests with your package right now. If you run into problems, I could fetch it from your Git repository and try a couple of things, but it will have to wait a day or two. Hope that helps!
