All CI runs for swh-graph fail during pytest test collection. Quoting from a [[ https://jenkins.softwareheritage.org/job/DGRPH/job/tests/197/console | recent example ]]:

Is `conftest.py` mandatory now to run tests?
Or is this an issue with unclean python caches in the CI image (as [[ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44067609/getting-error-importmismatcherror-while-running-py-test | random googling ]] suggests)?
