Re the test suite for releases: Yeah, it appears that they do have a tests/ directory, but I'm not able to get it to run the tests in any conventional way. There's a bug report for this upstream here: bitprophet/releases#95.

I opened an issue for the invocations test suite here: pyinvoke/invocations#29. It appears to be bc the pytest version in nixpkgs is too recent for invocations, but they also don't specify any version constraints in the dev requirements here: https://github.com/pyinvoke/invocations/blob/main/dev-requirements.txt. And I wasn't able to find any other versions of pytest in nixpkgs to try running on.

For posterity's sake here's my attempt at getting the invocations test suite to run:

  checkInputs = [ invoke mock pytest pytest-relaxed ];
  # See https://github.com/pyinvoke/invocations/issues/25 and https://github.com/pyinvoke/invocations/issues/29.
  checkPhase = ''
    inv test
    inv integration
  '';

Ok, I believe I've addressed all the comments now. I'll go ahead and merge tomorrow unless anyone objects.
