Basically, the tests quit early after several errors like this:

------
______ ERROR collecting build/lib/autobahn/nvx/test/test_utf8validator.py ______
import file mismatch:
imported module 'test_utf8validator' has this __file__ attribute:
  
/tmp/guix-build-python-autobahn-19.2.1.drv-0/autobahn-19.2.1/autobahn/nvx/test/test_utf8validator.py
which is not the same as the test file we want to collect:
  
/tmp/guix-build-python-autobahn-19.2.1.drv-0/autobahn-19.2.1/build/lib/autobahn/nvx/test/test_utf8validator.py
HINT: remove __pycache__ / .pyc files and/or use a unique basename for your 
test file modules
------

I don't fully understand the issue but it's discussed in the pytest bug
tracker as a general issue:

https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/529

What do you think? My opinion is that the test suite is broken.

The failure can be reproduced by adding this patch:
