The reason for the script was that a user could test without
installing pytest. Sadly the latest versions of pytest do not support
a standalone pytest library. That being said,

  python3 ./run_test.py

works for me. Python is 3.6.9 on Ubuntu 18.04. I don't have mysql or
postgres instaled so those tests (and maybe the gpg tests) are
skipped, but others run through to completion.

It would be nice to figure out why its failing for you.

If we remove it, we need to include some directions on how to install
pytest (if not already installed) and run the tests. IIRC you can
install it with pip/pip3 in a user directory and it will be picked up
by python right?

Have a great day and thanks for testing.
